Remember when Elon Musk was named Time magazine's "2021 Person of the Year" and the left lost its collective mind? Yeah, that was fun. But fear not, the eccentric billionaire hasn't lost his touch when it comes to his uncanny ability to enrage the left, often with no more effort than a casual tweet.
1) The most recent example of Musk's liberal-tear-triggering came Sunday when Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) once again claimed that Musk, "one of the richest people in the world," has not paid his taxes. (Sen. Warren has made this claim before and it didn't go over well, but we'll get back to that in a minute.)
Will visit IRS next time I\u2019m in DC just to say hi, since I paid the most taxes ever in history for an individual last year. Maybe I can have a cookie or something \u2026— Elon Musk (@Elon Musk) 1645395843
As you can see above, Musk fired back with "Will visit IRS next time I’m in DC just to say hi, since I paid the most taxes ever in history for an individual last year. Maybe I can have a cookie or something …" and once again, leftist outrage erupted on Twitter.
2) The last time we saw Warren and Musk engage in a Twitter spat was after Warren tweeted, "Let’s change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else."
Musk countered by calling Warren "Senator Karen," adding "If you opened your eyes for 2 seconds, you would realize I will pay more taxes than any American in history this year. Don’t spend it all at once ... oh wait you did already."

3) Then there was the time Musk hilariously called Joe Biden a "damp sock puppet" after the president (accidentally, we're sure) failed to mention TESLA in a highly-publicized discussion about building more electric vehicles in the United States.
Musk first tweeted, "Starts with a T, Ends with an A, ESL in the middle."

He later added, "Biden is treating the American public like fools."

And, finally, Musk ended the back-and-forth off with the eloquently put: "Biden is a damp [sock] puppet in human form."

4) Musk has also been making waves with his support for the "Freedom Convoy" protesters in Canada.
It would appear that the so-called \u201cfringe minority\u201d is actually the government— Elon Musk (@Elon Musk) 1643568892
If the government had the mandate of the people, there would be a significant counter-protest. There is not, therefore they do not.— Elon Musk (@Elon Musk) 1643572284
Then there was Musk's now-deleted tweet comparing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Hitler, which unsurprisingly sent the very people who have spent the last five years comparing former President Donald Trump to the Nazi dictator into fake-outrage-overdrive.
Hypocritical megadouche!— Elon Musk (@Elon Musk) 1645395919
Musk was apparently responding to Trudeau’s orders to freeze the bank accounts of anyone connected to the protests, including those who donated to crowdfunding sites such as GoFundMe and GiveSendGo.
Canada has begun to freeze the bank accounts of people who donated to the truckers. Imagine if Trump had done this to BLM protest donors. Yet Canada does it to people donating to truckers & most in media pretend it isn\u2019t happening.pic.twitter.com/EUwG9vJtUW— Clay Travis (@Clay Travis) 1645122218
5) No list of zingers from Musk could be complete without mentioning this little nugget of "disrespect" for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.):
I keep forgetting that you\u2019re still alive— Elon Musk (@Elon Musk) 1636900169
Youch. Okay, that wasn't very nice. But neither was the socialist senator's very public assertion that Musk, who reportedly donated roughly $5.7 billion worth of TESLA's shares to charity last year, is greedy and immoral just for having made so much money.
We are in a moment in American history where two guys \u2014 Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos \u2014 own more wealth than the bottom 40% of people in this country. That level of greed and inequality is not only immoral. It is unsustainable.— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1616098260
It bears repeating here that Sanders is himself a millionaire who has repeatedly defended his wealthy status, much to the chagrin of many of his devout supporters.
