Elon Musk's Twitter Roasting Prowess!

Elon Musk is the most affluent Twitter user, but that does not stop him from using the social media platform prodigiously. It is his preferred method of communication with his fans and sharing the latest news for his companies, although there is a thin line between both camps.

When he is not talking about upcoming features across all his companies, he posts about dogecoin and political memes many times. However, there is another way Musk uses his Twitter, and you would wish you were never the subject of these tweets.

Musk is not above roasting people on his Twitter feed. Thanks to his massive following, any barb tweeted by the billionaire quickly spreads across the micro-blogging sites and even spills on to traditional media. In fairness to Musk, the roasts can be witty, which explains why they spread fast.

Here we have compiled the greatest and most recent roasts by Musk.

The Great Tax Roast of Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders has been known to favor taxing the rich. The old senator took to Twitter to air his views on this issue last November, posting a seemingly innocuous message; "We must demand that the extremely wealthy pay their fair share. Period."

Unfortunately, Musk fell into the group of the extremely wealthy and felt the message was aimed at him. He fired back with a snarky reply, "I keep forgetting that you're still alive."

The tweet has been retweeted more than 35,000 times, quoted more than 32,000 times, and liked by almost 300,000 people.

The Biden Roast

Apparently, not much shields you from Musk's roasting. Musk has long bristled at the lack of recognition for Tesla's achievement from the US government, and a tweet by Joe Biden praising his company's competitors again proved too much.

Tesla has created over 50,000 US jobs building electric vehicles & is investing more than double GM + Ford combined

Musk then released another of his high-powered roasts, tweeting, "Biden is a damp [socks emoji] puppet in human form."

While this roast did not spread as fast as the one that befell Sanders, the tweet has accrued 12,000 retweets and more than 56,000 likes.

It seems Musk's roasting hit home as Biden mentioned Tesla in a more recent speech on electric vehicles, albeit fleetingly.

We will leave you with some free advice that whatever you do, avoid getting on Musk's bad side on Twitter as you may come to regret it.
