Time's Person of the Year is about to pay some hefty taxes.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk reports that he will pay $11 billion in taxes this year, a stark contrast with his past federal tax payments.


"For those wondering, I will pay over $11 billion in taxes this year," Musk tweeted on Monday.

INVESTORS SUE TESLA OVER ELON MUSK'S TWEETS AFFECTING STOCK MARKET

The high cost of his taxes may be attributable to his stock in Tesla. If Musk had not sold 10% of his stock in November, he would have had to pay $15 billion in taxes, according to an analysis from CNBC.

Musk's announcement comes a week after the tech CEO got into a virtual fight with Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren over his taxes. Warren had attacked Musk, alleging that Musk had been "freeloading" by not paying taxes. Musk responded by calling Warren a "Karen" and goading her into "calling a manager." This inspired a long back and forth between Musk, Warren, and MSNBC's Joy Reid.

A June report from ProPublica found that Musk, alongside several other billionaires, paid no federal income taxes in 2018.

Between 2014 and 2018, Musk paid $455 million in taxes on $1.52 billion of income, reports ProPublica, despite his wealth growing by $13.9 billion over that same four-year period.

Musk is worth $244 billion on paper, according to Forbes, making him one of the world's wealthiest men in history.

If Musk does pay the total $11 billion in taxes this year, it will be the most significant tax payment in American history, claims CNBC.
