  • Musk and Warren have clashed over taxes before.

Musk isn't going to quit over his feud with Elizabeth Warren.

Musk suggested that the IRS might give him a cookie, claiming that he paid the most taxes ever in history for an individual.

He responded to comments made by Warren in an interview with CNN on Sunday.

We have seen his tax returns, he is one of the richest people in the world. Zero.

He said that he would visit the IRS office when he was in Washington D.C.

He said that he would visit the IRS in DC to say hello, since he paid the most taxes in history.

According to the billionaires index, Musk has a net worth of $220 billion. Bezos has a wealth of $177 billion.

Musk and Warren have been at odds for months over his taxes. In December, the senator had accused him of "freeloading" over taxes after he was named Time's Person of the Year, and Musk snapped back by calling Warren.

According to ProPublica, Musk paid no federal income taxes in the year, despite his wealth growing by $13.9 billion.

Musk insists that he pays taxes.

He told The Babylon Bee that in 2021, he was paying the most tax that any individual in history had ever paid.

It is difficult to know if Musk is paying the largest tax bill in history because the IRS does not publicly reveal the tax information of individuals.
