On December 20, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a Twitter post that he will pay more than $11 billion (about 70.1 billion yuan) in taxes this year.
He had previously claimed in response to U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's criticism of his tax payments that he would pay more taxes this year "than any american in history." In January, Musk surpassed Bezos to become the world's richest man for the first time.
