Billionaire Elon Musk slammed self-proclaimed socialists on Twitter Friday, calling them depressing and humorless hypocrites.

"Those who proclaim themselves 'socialists' are usually depressing, have no sense of humor & attended an expensive college. Fate loves irony," Musk tweeted.

The tech entrepreneur has described himself as half-Democrat, half-Republican.

"I'm somewhere in the middle, socially liberal and fiscally conservative," Musk said during a 2011 interview at the University of California San Diego.

Musk recently made headlines for using his personal Twitter account to launch a tirades against the media.
