Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk on Sunday said that he will pay more than $11 billion in taxes this year after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called on him to stop “freeloading off everyone else.”

“For those wondering, I will pay over $11 billion in taxes this year,” Musk wrote on Twitter.
