Elon Musk's mother has taken the Biden administration to task for sidelining her son, accusing the White House of being ignorant of his achievements and businesses.
On Monday, Maye Musk, 73, berated the U.S. government for failing to acknowledge SpaceX's latest launch on Friday - the firm's 150th. 
Maye, who is a model, tweeted: 'Sharing this remarkable achievement with @JoeBiden @POTUS @VP @KamalaHarris who are completely unaware of the world's most advanced rockets and spacecraft.'
She added the hashtags: '#MadeInAmerica #JustSaySpacex.'
The company's Falcon 9 rocket delivered 40 spacecraft to orbit on Friday - SpaceX's fourth 'dedicated rideshare mission' and their 150th successful launch. The ridesharing program sees national space agencies like NASA and Germany's national space agency pay SpaceX to launch their satellites for them.  
Musk, the 50-year-old founder of SpaceX and Tesla, has always had an antagonistic relationship with Joe Biden, given Biden's strong support for unions and Musk's refusal to allow his workforce to unionize.
At White House events promoting electric vehicles, Musk has been notable in his absence - something he has repeatedly joked about on Twitter.  












Maye, 73, has frequently accused Biden and Harris of ignoring her son








The South African-born billionaire has frequently found himself at odds with the Biden administration, criticizing their policies on pandemic lockdowns, and taking issue with taxation in Democrat-run areas.
In October, Musk moved Tesla's headquarters from California to Texas.
Musk's mother's chiding of the Biden administration came as Musk was revealed to have bought a nine percent share in Twitter - making him the largest shareholder.
Twitter's founder, Jack Dorsey, only owns 2.25 percent. 
Republican lawmakers praised Musk for protecting 'free speech' on Monday.
Congressman Lance Gooden, a Republican for Texas, who co-founded the Freedom From Big Tech Caucus, lauded Musk but said his purchase was a warning about the social media giant's 'power.'
'The fact that the world's richest man chose to outright buy Twitter rather than develop a new platform shows Twitter's monopoly power,' Gooden told DailyMail.com.
'I'm glad Elon Musk is stepping up to protect free speech, but Congress must act to put the rest of big tech in their place.'
Numerous Republicans have accused Twitter of 'censorship' including 'shadow banning,' which supposedly restricts a user's reach without their knowledge or appearing to do so.
Republican Study Committee Chair, Jim Banks, said on Monday: 'If [Elon Musk] can clean up Twitter and stop online censorship, I'm all for him taking over the whole damn thing.'





Pro-Trump Rep. Lauren Boebert demanded that Musk use his money invested in the company to push for a reversal of Donald Trump's permanent suspension

The news prompted Twitter's stock to soar by more than 26 per cent in pre-market trade before Wall Street opened on Monday






Twitter's share price has rocketed since Musk's investment on March 14

Passive investment is a strategy for slowly building wealth by long-term ownership of stocks rather than engaging in frequent trading, which is often accompanies by additional fees and can be more volatile. 
Ives also told CNBC: 'Musk could try to take a more aggressive stance here on Twitter. 
'This eventually could lead to some sort of buyout. 
'This makes sense given what Musk has at least been talking about, at least from a social media perspective.'  
The shares are held by the Elon Musk Revocable Trust, of which he is the sole trustee. 
On the same day as the filing of the SEC document, Musk challenged Vladimir Putin to a fight on Twitter and posted a meme about supporting current trends.  
The mogul has been raising questions about the ability to communicate freely on Twitter, tweeting last month about free speech and the social media platform.

It means the Tesla co-founder has more than quadruple the shares of Twitter's founder Jack Dorsey (pictured), virtual cards who owns 2.25 per cent

In 2018, the tech CEO was slammed after calling a British diver who helped rescue a group of Thai boys stuck in a cave a 'pedo'. 
His Twitter posting has also led to accusations of stock manipulation, regularly sharing polls and information about his companies online. 
In August 2018, he wrote that he was 'considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured,' a nod to Musk's well-known interest in marijuana. 
The issue was, he didn't actually have funding secured - but the stock price soared at the time, and it was later revealed that Musk apparently wrote the tweet because he 'thought his girlfriend would 'find it funny.'' 
He later tweeted how 'high' the stock had gone later in 2019 when it did, in fact, hit $420 a share.
Musk's revelation about his stake in Twitter shares comes two days after Tesla Inc. posted lackluster first-quarter production numbers. 
While the company delivered 310,000 vehicles in the period, the figure was slightly below expectations. 
Musk has been selling his stake in Tesla since November, when he said he would offload 10 per cent of his holding in the electric-car maker. He has already sold $16.4 billion worth of shares since then.
Twitter was the target of activist investor Elliott Management Corp in 2020, when the hedge fund argued its then-boss and co-founder, Jack Dorsey, was paying too little attention to Twitter while also running Square.  
Musk and Dorsey have had some common ground in terms of dismissing the so-called Web3, a vague term for a utopian version of the internet that is decentralized.
Musk is also the founder and CEO of SpaceX, and leads brain-chip startup Neuralink and infrastructure firm The Boring Company.
Dorsey resigned as Twitter CEO in November after 15 years at the helm.
He remains remains the CEO of Square Inc, the hugely successful financial payments company that he co-founded in 2010, and is the sixth largest shareholder in Twitter.
