Elon Musk shuts down Warren claim that he doesn’t pay taxes

Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter on Sunday to slam claims made by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) about his taxes.

Musk responded to a tweet containing a video of last week’s CNN interview with Warren, during which she says Musk pays “zero” in taxes.

“You know how much he paid in taxes? One of the richest people in the world? Zero,” Warren said.

She added that Musk and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos manage to avoid doing so by using stocks as a workaround.

“And they do this because they’re only being taxed on income. They very cleverly make sure they have no official income,” she added.

Musk refuted the Massachusetts senator’s claims, saying he not only pays taxes but made history with his tax payments last year.
