Musk Charitable Giving Raises Questions

• Half of Musk's charitable donations in 2021-2022 benefited his own business interests, partners, or family, including a school for his kids.

• Musk donated $100 million to a charity run by the head of his family office, which then bought land next to a development housing his Boring Company employees.

• Musk was $193 million short of meeting legal charitable giving requirements in 2022. His foundation is among the worst in the country by this measure.

• Musk has a history of overpromising and underdelivering on charitable pledges, like fixing Flint's water or donating ventilators during COVID.

• Musk maintains his companies themselves are philanthropic by nature of their work, though critics dispute this characterization.
