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."

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."
