Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has posted a tweet, saying that billionaires and the extremely wealthy should "pay their fair share" of taxes to the public, and this would focus on top CEOs and business owners. One person that was concerned regarding this was Elon Musk, where he has replied mockingly to the senator.

Musk then proceeded to further engage with the US senator by asking if the CEO and Tesla should sell more stocks just to pay for the taxes that would be charged against him and the company.
