US Senator Bernie Sanders responded to a meme posted by Tesla CEO Elon Musk on him, saying, "Elon...l-o-v-e-s corporate socialism for himself, rugged capitalism for everyone else." He added that Musk would be worth "nothing without $4.9 billion in corporate welfare". Musk had responded to Sanders' bill to impose a one-time 60% tax on billionaires' wealth gains during COVID-19.
