"Y’all, the billionaires are asking for a safe space — you know, in addition to the entire US economy and political lobbying industry," the progressive firebrand said in a tweet just a day after Dimon made several critical remarks about Warren, one of the top-tier Democratic 2020 White House hopefuls.

Warren, a staunch progressive, has centered her campaign for the presidency around combatting inequality and reigning in financial excess from massive corporations. She has released a plan to install a wealth tax and has been outspoken in her calls to overhaul a system she says isn't fair to the working class.

Her wealth tax proposal would impose a 2 percent tax on the wealth of people with more than $50 million in assets, while those with assets more than $1 billion would face a 3 percent tax.

“She uses some pretty harsh words, you know, some would say vilifies successful people,” Dimon, a billionaire, said on CNBC when asked whether Warren was anti-business. “I don’t like vilifying anybody. I think we should applaud successful people.”

He added that sweeping government policies may not solve the nation's problems.
