Elon Musk Calls Elizabeth Warren ‘Senator Karen’ in Twitter Fight
Elon Musk took to Twitter to respond to politicians again on Wednesday, this time with some choice words for Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.
In a response to @SenWarren tweeting that the U.S. should “change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes,” @ElonMusk responded with a fiery series of tweets, topped off with one calling the Massachusetts Democrat “Senator Karen.”
“Let’s change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else,” said Warren.

In immediate response to the post, Musk told Warren to “stop projecting,” and shared a link to a Fox News story saying that Warren’s false claims to Native American heritage should disqualify her from the presidency.

“You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend’s angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason,” Musk added.
Please don’t call the manager on me, Senator Karen 🙏

The news comes just a few weeks after a similar encounter led to Musk taunting Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, couple with an explanation that the Tesla CEO’s recent Tesla stock sales were an attempt to pay more taxes.
Musk has also slammed U.S. President Joe Biden in recent months, both for Biden’s proposed subsidy increase not including Tesla due to its non-union status as a company and for Biden failing to congratulate SpaceX’s Inspiration4 astronauts on their return to Earth.
