Elon Musk put podcast host and former President Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau in his place on Twitter on Friday.
The exchange came after the outspoken liberal and "Pod Save America" host ridiculed the Tesla CEO and world’s richest man for stating that he’s done voting Democrat, at least for the next election cycle.
Musk’s original heading-turning tweet stated, "In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican."
Many liberals on Twitter took issue with the statement, though it was Favreau’s disagreement that elicited a response from Musk.
The former Obama man gave a flippant reply to Musk tweeting, "Hey man, if you want to support a bunch of electric vehicle-hating climate deniers, that’s on you. Not sure it helps the cause that you and your team have dedicated much of your lives to, but I guess you’ll get some attention on Twitter, so there’s that!"
