Musk Foundation Faces Scrutiny Over Aid Distribution and Tax Practices

• The Musk Foundation is the 28th largest charitable foundation in the world with over $7 billion in assets, but has no staff besides Elon Musk and two volunteers • The Foundation's gifts seem haphazard and largely tied to Elon's personal connections and interests • The Foundation donated just $160 million in aid in 2022 when it was legally required to give $234 million more • Elon used the Foundation to save billions on his personal taxes though it fails to meet minimum distribution requirements • The Foundation's aid promises, like fixing Flint's water crisis, have mostly gone unfulfilled while benefiting Elon's businesses
