Musk says he paid $10 bln in taxes this year, 'more than anyone in history'

NEW YORK, May 7. /TASS/. American businessman and founder of SpaceX Elon Musk paid $10 billion in taxes this year.

"In one year, I paid more than $10 billion in taxes, more than anyone in history," he wrote on the social network X.

The entrepreneur noted that after his death there will be another 40% tax on his estate. The billionaire believes he will have to pay trillions of dollars in taxes when it's all said and done.

Earlier Musk quipped on X that his tax burden is so large that the IRS has a hard time processing it.

"They had to update the software to get it processed," the businessman wrote adding that there were "too many digits."
