New York, NY (CNN)Elon Musk is trolling again on Twitter, and this time his target is Sen. Bernie Sanders.

"I keep forgetting you're still alive," Musk tweeted Sunday morning, in response to Sanders tweeting that the extremely wealthy should pay their fair share of taxes. CNN Business has reached out to Sanders for comment.

"Want me to sell more stock, Bernie? Just say the words..." Musk tweeted an hour later.

Musk ended the week selling a grand total of $6.9 billion worth of Tesla shares. That only amounted to less than 4% of the shares he holds directly, and less than 3% including all the options he owns to buy additional shares.

1. Elon Musk is obviously a very big jerk

and a man with little self-awareness, if any at all.

[Sherman A1]

2. Keep going Elon

Pissing off a US Senator always is a good idea……….

[JohnSJ]

3. Fuck Elon Musk, he is a jackass. However, as far as his wealth and how much taxes he pays, that

isn’t actually his fault, that is congress for not changing the tax laws. I doubt you even need a separate wealth tax. Just get rid of the loopholes, and that will probably insure everyone is paying their fair share of taxes

22. Thanks, JohnJS

I've been saying that for years. No need to add new taxes to people who can afford to buy their way into space, just squelch the loopholes. I'm not asking the wealthy to pay more than their share of taxes (even though they could without any pain), I'm just asking that they pay the same percentage as I do.

[JohnSJ]

26. Absolutely

[CentralMass]

4. Well of all the things that Musk maybe good at it seems that being an asshole

is at the top of the list.

[diverdownjt]

6. Well you don't get to where he is by being nice...now do you...

I've been nice all my life...got me absolutely nowhere.

[Farmer-Rick]

24. He got to where he is because some dead relative gave him leftover capital

It's called inheritance. You know that thing kings and slave owners did/do. So being nice or not nice has no part in it.

If you are born with free capital (slaves or serfs), the world is your oyster.

[American Interregnum]

5. Dick Move

But he's gonna have to go a lot lower if he wants to catch up to Bezos!

[sarge43]

7. One of the down sides of growing old:

You probably won't live long enough to see and hear the a-holes who sneer at the elderly grow old themselves.

Musk is exactly the type who in the future will whine about "these kids nowadays" trashing him.

This old fart hopes all that money is a comfort to you Elon when you're trying to remember what car keys are for.

[Mr. Sparkle]

8. Its what happens when you move from La to Texas

You wear those big dopey hats and become a texhole in a matter of months.

[twodogsbarking]

9. Bernie may outlive Muskhole.

[Pachamama]

10. Too bad Sanders can't answer "And you are constantly reminding us you are a rich asshole"

Elon Musk really is trying to complete for the title of who is the biggest richest asshole of them all…

[mucifer]

11. So many people now worship money and cruel bullying. they also think they are

good Christians.

[Walleye]

12. I keep forgetting Musk is still an American

[twodogsbarking]

13. Time wounds all heels.

Karma.

[FailureToCommunicate]

14. For a guy that could almost fund "Build Back Better" his own self, what a stupid reply.

Heck, we could even give him naming rights if he wanted.

[Blues Heron]

15. You say that among friends about some obscure actor from the 70s

You don't say that to someones face. What a POS

[ananda]

16. Nasty. What an asshole.

I've never like Musk anyway.

[denvine]

17. What a dick!!!!!

F U Elon Musk!

[Miguelito Loveless]

18. I would really appreciate it if Musk was less "edge lord"

and more "grown-ass adult".

[Javaman]

19. and I keep forgetting that musk is a human. nt

[Mosby]

20. What a jerk.

[jcgoldie]

21. Bernie seems to have drawn some blood

Made Musk expose his ass multiple times over these exchanges.

[Kid Berwyn]

23. Classy.

For a greedhead.

[Farmer-Rick]

25. I keep forgetting what an A hole Musk is

Talking about other people dying when you're over 50 is like whistling pass a graveyard.

[twodogsbarking]

27. Bernie has spent his entire adult life

championing the causes of the people in America. Thank you kind sir.
I for one will never make fun of you.
