Senator Elizabeth Warren isn’t exactly renowned for her honesty. She has repeatedly pushed the discredited claim that the SAVE Act hinders women’s voting rights. Moreover, she inaccurately blamed the affordability crisis on the Trump administration, a point Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent strongly rebutted. Additionally, she suggested that President Trump created “chaos” by dismissing air traffic controllers, which also lacks any factual basis.
And her “Lie-A-Watha” is again, fibbing about Elon Musk’s Tesla paying zero federal taxes:

While it’s true that corporate taxes are often passed on to consumers through higher prices for goods and services, the situation isn’t that simple. Tesla didn’t outright refuse to pay federal taxes; rather, it operated within the bounds of current tax laws, which allowed it to avoid doing so.
This is grossly misleading.
Tesla clearly shows in its 10-K that as of Dec 31, 2025, it had $3.56B of federal net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income, which stems from Tesla being unprofitable for most of its 22 year history.
Cherry-picking… https://t.co/qWxRGiN40a

Tesla has struggled with profitability for much of its existence. How can one be expected to pay taxes on income that hasn’t been realized? Naturally, Warren and other Democrats favor capital gains taxes on unrealized earnings, so they seem comfortable with imposing taxes on income that isn’t actually there, like good little socialists and commies.
Basic accounting, and basic tax law. When a net operating loss is incurred, you carry back to get refunds of taxes previously paid, and if anything is left you carry it forward.
Tax code that didn’t have carry backs and forward would be entirely dysfunctional. She surely…

“She surely knows that, being a Harvard graduate. This was intent to mislead on her part. Or sheer stupidity,” the user wrote. It’s both, actually: she’s intending to mislead, because she knows her supporters are stupid enough to buy this and not understand tax law.
This is why Elon bought Twitter.
The sad reality is that millions of people on FB and other sites will take her deceptive propaganda and run with it.
Not sure why they keep attacking Tesla, an American company trying to make the world a better place. Disgraceful behavior. https://t.co/iKn4twXVYS pic.twitter.com/SQCXF3scae

I’m old enough to remember when Democrats were all-in with forcing American drivers to buy electric vehicles like those sold by Tesla. Gee – what changed?
Okay, now do wage taxes.
With 134,000 employees, average wages above $100k.
Including the employees withheld, almost $5B in taxes paid federally alone.Not to mention the state, cap gains, sales tax, etc https://t.co/MI7a47yVL4

Taxation is theft. Sorry – it just is. I know that taxes are necessary to a degree, but our system is so out of whack – thanks to politicians like Warren – that what used to be seen as a necessary evil has turned into outright theft for affluent Americans who are punished annually for the sin of ‘doing better’ and ‘achieving the American dream.’
Warren is aware that she’s not being truthful. She knows we see through her lies. Yet, she continues to push this narrative, knowing that the media will pick it up without questioning or criticizing the claims. This strategy allows the ongoing attacks on Elon Musk, Tesla, and anyone who opposes the Democratic Party agenda to carry on unchallenged.
