I felt that it was directed at Jesse, in reaction to his having forced Walt's hand w/r/t paying the hush money. It was pretty obvious, at least to me, that there was no way they would get around paying the hush money - it's part of business - but when Jesse suggested that he'd just pay all of it, Walt, in order to remain The Man, had no option but to say "no. i'll pay my share." I think he knew that he'd have to pay, but wanted to gain some leverage from the situation. Jesse got in the way of him gaining leverage over Mike, ergo he was sure to let Jesse know that he, Walt, was still the boss, and Jesse shouldn't act that way / even think about flying to high.
