Billionaire Elon Musk is once again trolling a U.S. senator on Twitter.
The Tesla CEO has gotten a lot of attention in the past few years for his tweets, and earlier this month he invited people to vote on a Twitter poll deciding whether he should sell 10% of his Tesla stock so he would have to pay taxes.
Senator Ron Wyden (D- OR) said rich people should pay more, and in response Musk tweeted, “Why does ur pp look like u just came?” Yes, really.
Days later, Bernie Sanders decided to similarly weigh in.
The Vermont Independent tweeted Saturday, “We must demand that the extremely wealthy pay their fair share. Period.”

In response to this, Musk actually tweeted, “I keep forgetting that you’re still alive.”
He added, “Want me to sell more stock, Bernie? Just say the word …”
