Billionaire mogul Elon Musk has alleged that he once paid so mich taxes that it wrecked an IRS computer. The SpaceX owner took to his own platform, X, to reply to a tweet by the account The Rabbit Hole. It claimed that "the rich actually pay more than their fair share of taxes," and shared a graph comparing the taxes paid by the top 5% of payers vs. the bottom 95% of payers. "I paid so much in taxes one year that it broke the IRS computer (actually). Too many digits. They had to update the software to get it processed," Musk wrote in his tweet. Elon Musk echoes 2021 claims of paying exorbitant amounts in taxes: Read more Notably, this is not the first time Elon Musk has made claims about his taxes. Back in 2021, he offered to pay over $11 billion to the IRS in a single year. “For those wondering, I will pay over $11 billion in taxes this year,” he wrote online at the time. According to Forbes' estimate, between 2014 and 2018, the mogul raked in around $1.52 billion in income and paid about $455 million in taxes. Per Bloomberg, the hefty bill was a result of Musk working around his Tesla stocks that were nearing expiry. If this is true, it would mark one of the largest individual tax payments ever made in US history. In 2023, he made similar claims when he alleged that he paid 53% tax on Tesla stock options, including 40% federal tax and 13% state tax. At the time, he claimed that he paid more income tax than anyone in 2021, and vowed to do so the following year. His comments, however, have long drawn scrutiny. Back in 2021, ProPublica published a finding that said Musk and several other billionaires had paid nothing in federal income taxes in 2018. The report also mentioned the 2014 to 2018 period, echoing Forbes' claims that he paid $455 million in taxes. However, it pointed out that at the time, Elon Musk's wealth skyrocketed by $13.9 billion. As of January 1, 2023, Bloomberg's Billionaire Index ranks Elon Musk as the world’s richest person, with a staggering net worth of $619.4 billion. As of this year, however, Forbes' Real-Time Billionaires List places his net worth at $726.3 billion. Nonetheless, Musk has boasted the title since he overtook LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault. The richest people to make the list after him include Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, Oracle chairman Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, and Google's Sergey Brin.
