Elon Musk is trolling again on Twitter, and this time his target is US Senator Bernie Sanders

The billionaire has taken aim at a recent tweet from Mr Sanders which stated the rich must pay more tax

“I keep forgetting that you’re still alive,” was the response from Mr Musk.

The Tesla boss then stated he’s willing to sell more of his EV stocks in order to pay more tax.
