Elon Musk, the extravagant billionaire that TIME magazine just named “The Person of the Year,” has found a new target.
Musk, who has a net worth of $297 billion, had a tense exchange with Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren on Twitter this week.
The SpaceX founder called the failed presidential candidate “Senator Karen.” Social media erupted, and many commenters are picking sides.
The Tesla CEO and the respected former law professor went at it after the politician said that the entrepreneur should pay more in taxes.
Musk has described his politics as “half Democrat, half Republican.” He is socially liberal and fiscally conservative. Warren is a proud liberal who often advocates for higher taxes for wealthy Americans.
