American billionaire and Twitter owner Elon Musk said that US President Joe Biden's calls for taxing the rich are just words with no actions, and "begged" Biden's team to give the president access to his Twitter account so he can post there himself.

"Please give him the password, so he can do his own tweets. Please, I’m begging you!" Musk said in a tweet on Saturday, in response to a post on Biden’s official account saying "It’s about time the super-wealthy start paying their fair share."

"Please give him the password, so he can do his own tweets. Please, I’m begging you!" Musk commented on the president's original tweet.

Tesla's chief added in another comment on the post: “I agree that we should make elaborate tax-avoidance schemes illegal, but acting upon that would upset a lot of donors, so we will see words, but no action."

“Those who will actually be forced to carry the burden of excess government spending are lower to middle income wage earners, as they cannot escape payroll tax.”

Several Twitter users found that Musk's proposal would bring some entertainment to the social media platform at the expense of Biden's frequent gaffes. "It would be so entertaining to see him actually Tweet," a user said under Musk's comment.

One user mocked the president's ability to form coherent sentences during his speeches, suggesting that this will be also the case if he personally tweeted. "If Biden did his own tweets...... Thydhtdf udgiff ordi7rrt irdgiy fhutd ydutff irtiesj8 irgitdt Trunalimunumaprzure."

Bringing up his most recent gaffe, where Biden concluded earlier this week with "God save the Queen, man," leaving the audience confused over the reason the president would make this statement, one tweet said: "He would try and log in as “the Queen”
