Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, has made a new claim regarding his financial legacy. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) he said that he expects to pay more than $500 billion in taxes over his lifetime. The projection comes as Musk’s personal fortune reached a staggering $852 billion this month. This massive jump in wealth follows a merger between his rocket company, SpaceX, and his artificial intelligence firm, xAI, creating a combined giant valued at $1.25 trillion.
Responding to a video in which he joked about his status as the “largest individual taxpayer in history”, Musk said that he has already paid over $10 billion in taxes.
