That's literally what Elon tweeted to her.
Also, since everyone here is an expert, how do you tax someone on "paper money." In other words, all super wealthy are super wealthy because of their holdings, not liquid cash or income.

I'm not a billionaire apologist, but I also couldn't tell you how to be fair and equitable at it. Our entire civilization is built on some having more, some that live outside the law. That can be bad or good, depending on who and what. Tesla is pushing the electric auto industry, and batteries in general (for green energy). SpaceX is pushing the space race again. NASA and Boeing had decades head start but are only interested in politics and getting as much money from the Government as possible. We put people on the moon 50 years ago and then what?
