Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk responded to Joy Reid’s attack on him during her show on Wednesday night by calling her a “lobbyist for Sen Karen,” referencing the new nickname that he recently coined for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
Musk made the remark in response to Reid defending Warren from Musk’s new nickname during her show last night. Musk’s remarks toward Warren came after Warren suggested without evidence that Musk was “freeloading off everyone else” by not paying taxes.
“Elon wasn’t happy, so he did what he always did and stomped his little feet and insulted Senator Warren, calling her an ‘angry mom’ and referring to her as ‘Senator Karen,’” Reid said. “So, for so many reasons, being a freeloader and a selfish and disrespectful one, and for misappropriating black vernacular for misogynistic purposes, Elon Musk is the absolute worst.”
Musk responded to Reid, “(Lack of) Joy Reid is a lobbyist for Sen Karen.”

Warren made her comments about Musk after Musk was named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year.
Musk responded with a torrent of tweets, the first of which was an op-ed published on Fox News that featured the title: “Elizabeth Warren is a fraud — Her lies about being Native American disqualify her from presidency, Senate.”
“Stop projecting!” Musk declared in the tweet.
“You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend’s angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason,” Musk said. “Please don’t call the manager on me, Senator Karen 🙏.”
A few hours later, Musk continued, adding: “And if you opened your eyes for 2 seconds, you would realize I will pay more taxes than any American in history this year.”
The Daily Wire reported on Tuesday:
Warren’s tweet follows Musk’s harsh criticism of the Biden administration’s “Build Back Better Act.” The $1.75 trillion legislation — which the House of Representatives has already approved — would expand various social programs, including universal preschool, childcare subsidies, and climate change initiatives.
“I would say can this bill, don’t pass it. That’s my recommendation,” argued Musk during The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit. “If this bill happens or doesn’t happen, we don’t think about it at all really. Honestly it might be better if the bill doesn’t pass.”
Musk continued his remarks by sharing an analysis from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School explaining that the national debt would increase by over 24% if the bill’s provisions are made permanent. “There is a lot of accounting trickery in this bill that isn’t being disclosed to the public,” he added, noting that the $1.75 trillion price tag is deceptively low due to the arbitrary expiration of several programs.
Musk slammed advocates of big government in recent remarks that he gave, saying, “It does not make sense to take the job of capital allocation away from people who have demonstrated great skill in capital allocation, and give it to an entity that has demonstrated very poor skill in capital allocation, which is the government.”
“Government is simply the biggest corporation, with the monopoly on violence,” he added.
