After billionaire Elon Musk made a rude comment on twitter in regards of Senator Bernie Sanders, Hole singer Courtney Love had some choice words for him. She called him out on his behavior comparing it to “Kendall Roy shit.” For those unaware, Kendall Roy is popular character (notoriously known for being not a great guy) from the hit show Succession, a show that Love is rather fond of (she let them use late husband, Kurt Cobain’s ‘Rape Me’). Here’s what started the exchange.
Sanders had posted, “We must demand that the extremely wealthy pay their fair share. Period.” Musk’s response to the post was, “I keep forgetting that you’re still alive.” Although a seemingly minuscule squabble, it was more than enough to trigger Love’s follow up response. She said,
“@elonmusk you know your str8, male, PayPal mafia email group? I was on bcc for MONTHS on that thing With that information in mind, don’t you think in a “civilized society” one should embrace paying our fair share of tax? Don’t pick on Bernie. It’s Kendall Roy shit.”
In a later post she said, “Relax. I’m a GOOD Queen. Capitalism & the American dream has been good to you. Be good to it. #justpayyourtaxesbuddy.”
Though Love’s comment has a ton of bite and references the all star show that is Succession, her tweet was actually posted over a month after Musk’s initial post. The delayed response loses a bit of impact and is probably the reason for lack of response from Musk on the matter.
One things for sure, there’s never a dull moment on Twitter. Look below to view the tweet.
