Elon Musk used a crude tweet in response to U.S. Senator Ron Wyden’s call for a tax on billionaires, the latest erratic post from Tesla Inc.’s chief executive officer and largest shareholder.
Musk, who has almost 63 million followers on Twitter, on Saturday kicked off a poll on the platform on his proposal to sell 10% of his Tesla shares. He referred to discussions about the ultra-wealthy hoarding unrealized gains to avoid paying taxes.
