Businessman and Elon Musk has been involved in a number of foundations and companies alongside his business ventures. He is president of the Musk Foundation, co-founded the artificial intelligence (AI) research company OpenAI, and later launched another AI company called xAI.

Musk founded the Musk Foundation in 2001, whose stated purpose is to provide solar-power energy systems in disaster areas, with an interest in human space exploration, pediatrics, renewable energy, and "safe artificial intelligence". From 2002 to 2018, the foundation donated nearly half of it's $25 million directly to Musk's Opan AI. Musk is committed to the Giving Pledge, intended to give the majority of his wealth to charitable causes either during his lifetime or in his will, and as of 2020, has given away less than 1% of his net worth. The foundations assets reached $9.4 billion by the end of 2021.

In August 2013, Musk announced plans for a version of a vactrain and assigned engineers from SpaceX and Tesla to design a transport system between to be built between Greater Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area, at an estimated cost of $6 billion. Later that year, Musk unveiled the concept, dubbed the Hyperloop, intended to make travel cheaper than any other mode of transport for such long distances. In January 2017, Musk announced Hyperloop had started a new tunnel project, with Hawthorne Municipal Airport as its destination, with the project discontinued in 2022.

In December 2015, Musk co-founded OpenAI, a not-for-profit artificial intelligence (AI) research company aiming to develop artificial general intelligence , intended to be safe and beneficial to humanity, Musk pledged $1 billion of funding to the company. and as of 2023, he has donated approximately $50 million. In 2018, Musk left the OpenAI board, and since then, OpenAI has made significant advances in machine learning by producing neural networks. In July 2023, Musk launched the artificial intelligence company xAI, which aims to develop a generative AI program that competes with existing offerings like ChatGPT. The company hired engineers from Google and OpenAI. and Musk obtained funding from investors in SpaceX and Tesla.

In July 2018, Musk arranged for his employees to build a mini-submarine to assist the rescue of children trapped in a flooded cavern in Thailand, built by engineers from SpaceX and the Boring Company, however it was not practical for the rescue mission. In March 2019, Musk was one of the 187 people who received various honors conferred by the King of Thailand for involvement in the rescue effort. In September, Unsworth filed a defamation suit seeking $190 million in damages. Musk apologized and in December the jury ruled that Musk was not liable for the claim. After 2020, thousands of acres of land just outside Austin, Texas, were acquired by Musk and his companies with a total value of $2.5 billion. The project to build the company town named Snailbrook in Bastrop County, Texas began in 2021, and There are plans to establish a school and a university there.

Musk Foundation

Main article: Musk Foundation

Musk is president of the Musk Foundation he founded in 2001,[1][2] whose stated purpose is to: provide solar-power energy systems in disaster areas; support research, development, and advocacy (for interests including human space exploration, pediatrics, renewable energy and "safe artificial intelligence"); and support science and engineering educational efforts.[3]

As of 2020, the foundation had made 350 donations. Around half of them were made to scientific research or education nonprofits. Notable beneficiaries include the Wikimedia Foundation, his alma mater the University of Pennsylvania, and his brother Kimbal's nonprofit Big Green.[4] From 2002 to 2018, the foundation gave $25 million directly to nonprofit organizations, nearly half of which went to Musk's OpenAI,[5] which was a nonprofit at the time.[6] The foundation also allocated $100 million of donations to be used to establish a new higher education university in Texas.[7]

In 2012, Musk took the Giving Pledge, thereby committing to give the majority of his wealth to charitable causes either during his lifetime or in his will.[8] He has endowed prizes at the Xprize Foundation, including $100 million to reward improved carbon capture technology.[9]

Vox said in February 2021, "the Musk Foundation is almost entertaining in its simplicity and yet is strikingly opaque", noting that its website was only 33 words in plain-text.[5] In 2020, Forbes gave Musk a philanthropy score of 1, because he had given away less than 1% of his net worth.[4] In November 2021, Musk donated $5.7 billion of Tesla's shares to charity, according to regulatory filings.[10] However, Bloomberg News noted that all of it went to his own foundation, bringing Musk Foundation's assets up to $9.4 billion at the end of 2021. The foundation disbursed $160 million to nonprofits that year.[11] Reporting by The New York Times found that in 2022, the Musk Foundation gave away $230 million less than the minimum required by law to maintain tax-deductible status, and that in 2021 and 2022 over half the foundation's funds went to causes connected to Musk, his family, or his businesses.[12]

Hyperlook

In August 2013, Musk announced plans for a version of a vactrain and assigned a dozen engineers from SpaceX and Tesla to establish the conceptual foundations and create initial designs.[13] Later that year, Musk unveiled the concept, which he dubbed the Hyperloop.[14] The alpha design for the system was published in a white paper posted to the Tesla and SpaceX blogs.[15] The document scoped out the technology and outlined a notional route where such a transport system could be built between Greater Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area, at an estimated cost of $6 billion.[16] The proposal, if technologically feasible at the costs cited, would make Hyperloop travel cheaper than any other mode of transport for such long distances.[17] Biographer Ashlee Vance noted that Musk hoped Hyperloop would "make the public and legislators rethink the high-speed train" proposal current in California at the time and consider more "creative" ideas.[18]

In 2015, Musk announced a design competition for students and others to build Hyperloop pods, to operate on a SpaceX-sponsored mile-long track, for a 2015–2017 Hyperloop pod competition. The track was used in January 2017, and Musk also announced that the company had started a tunnel project, with Hawthorne Municipal Airport as its destination.[19] In July 2017, Musk said that he had received "verbal government approval" to build a Hyperloop from New York City to Washington, D.C., with stops in Philadelphia and Baltimore.[20] Mention of the projected DC-to-Baltimore leg was removed from the Boring Company website in 2021.[21] The tunnel project to Hawthorne was discontinued in 2022 and is planned to be converted into parking spots for SpaceX workers.[22]

Mobility experts have criticized the Hyperloop concept for potential safety issues, planning complexity, low passenger capacity, and extremely high costs.[23][24] Jose Gomez-Ibanez, a professor of urban planning and public policy at Harvard, said, "It gives me pause to think that otherwise intelligent people are buying into this kind of utopian vision."[25]

OpenAE and xAI

Further information: OpenAI and xAI (company)

In December 2015, Musk co-founded OpenAI, a not-for-profit artificial intelligence (AI) research company aiming to develop artificial general intelligence intended to be safe and beneficial to humanity.[26] A particular focus of the company was to democratize artificial superintelligence systems against governments and corporations.[27] Musk pledged $1 billion of funding to OpenAI.[28] In 2023, Musk said he had given a total of $100 million to OpenAI. TechCrunch later reported that, according to its investigation of public records, "only $15 million" of OpenAI's funding could be definitively traced to Musk. Musk subsequently stated that he had donated about $50 million.[29]

In 2018, Musk left the OpenAI board to avoid possible future conflicts with his role as CEO of Tesla, as Tesla increasingly became involved in AI through Tesla Autopilot.[30] Since then, OpenAI has made significant advances in machine learning, producing neural networks such as ChatGPT (producing human-like text)[31] and DALL-E (generating digital images from natural language descriptions).[32]

On July 12, 2023, Elon Musk launched an artificial intelligence company called xAI, which aims to develop a generative AI program that competes with existing offerings like ChatGPT. The company hired engineers from Google and OpenAI.[33] Musk obtained funding from investors in SpaceX and Tesla.[34]

In February 2024 Musk sued OpenAI, its chief executive Sam Altman, and president Greg Brockman over the company violating its founding agreement by prioritizing profits over benefits to humanity.[35]

Tham Luang cave rescue and defamation case

Further information: Tham Luang cave rescue

In July 2018, Musk arranged for his employees to build a mini-submarine to assist the rescue of children trapped in a flooded cavern in Thailand.[36] Richard Stanton, leader of the international rescue diving team, encouraged Musk to facilitate the construction of the vehicle as a backup in case flooding worsened. However, Stanton concluded that the mini-submarine would not work and said that Musk's involvement "distracted from the rescue effort".[37] Engineers at SpaceX and the Boring Company built the mini-submarine from a Falcon 9 liquid oxygen transfer tube in eight hours and personally delivered it to Thailand.[38][39] Thai authorities ultimately declined to use the submarine, stating that it was not practical for the rescue mission.[36][40] In March 2019, Musk was one of the 187 people who received various honors conferred by the King of Thailand for involvement in the rescue effort.[41]

Soon after the rescue, Vernon Unsworth, a British recreational caver who had been exploring the cave for the previous six years and played a key advisory role in the operation, criticized the submarine on CNN as amounting to nothing more than a public relations effort with no chance of success, maintaining that Musk "had no conception of what the cave passage was like" and "can stick his submarine where it hurts". Musk asserted on Twitter that the device would have worked and referred to Unsworth as a "pedo guy".[42] He then deleted the tweets,[42] apologized,[43] and deleted his responses to critical tweets from Cher Scarlett, a software engineer, which had caused his followers to harass her.[44] In an email to BuzzFeed News, Musk later called Unsworth a "child rapist" and said that he had married a child.[45][46]

In September, Unsworth filed a defamation suit seeking $190 million in damages.[47][48][49] In his defense, Musk argued that "'pedo guy' was a common insult used in South Africa when I was growing up ... synonymous with 'creepy old man' and is used to insult a person's appearance and demeanor."[50] During the trial Musk apologized to Unsworth again for the tweet. In December 2019, the jury ruled that Musk was not liable.[51][52]

2018 cannabis incident

In September 2018, Musk was interviewed on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, during which he appeared to smoke a joint.[53] In 2022, Musk said that he and other SpaceX employees had subsequently been required to undergo random drug tests for about a year following the incident, as required by the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 for federal contractors.[54] In a 2019 60 Minutes interview, Musk had said, "I do not smoke pot. As anybody who watched that podcast could tell, I have no idea how to smoke pot."[55]

Music

In March 2019, Musk, through his own label Emo G Records, released a rap track, "RIP Harambe", on SoundCloud.[56][57] The track refers to the killing of Harambe the gorilla and the subsequent Internet sensationalism surrounding the event.[58] The following year, Musk released an EDM track, "Don't Doubt Ur Vibe", featuring his own lyrics and vocals.[59] While Guardian critic Alexis Petridis described it as "indistinguishable ... from umpteen competent but unthrilling bits of bedroom electronica posted elsewhere on SoundCloud",[60] TechCrunch said it was "not a bad representation of the genre".[59]

Musk uses a private jet owned by Falcon Landing LLC, a SpaceX-linked company, and acquired a second jet in August 2020.[62][63] His heavy use of the jets—which flew over 150,000 miles in 2018 alone—and the consequent fossil fuel usage have received criticism.[62][64] Musk's flight usage is tracked on social media through ElonJet. After Musk said that his son X Æ A-Xii had been harassed by a stalker after the account posted the airport at which his jet had landed,[65][66][67] Musk banned the ElonJet account on Twitter, as well as the accounts of journalists that posted stories regarding the incident, including Donie O'Sullivan, Keith Olbermann, and journalists from The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, and The Intercept.[68] Musk equated the reporting to doxxing.[69] Police do not believe there is a link between the account and alleged stalker.[70] Musk later took a Twitter poll on whether the journalists' accounts should be reinstated, which resulted in reinstating the accounts.[71]

Company towns

Main articles: Boca Chica Village, Texas and Snailbrook, Texas

After 2020, thousands of acres of land just outside Austin, Texas, were acquired by Musk and his companies with a total value of $2.5 billion.[72][73] The project to build the company town named Snailbrook in Bastrop County, Texas began in 2021 according to reports by The Wall Street Journal.[74] Musk's then-girlfriend Grimes and Kanye West were involved in the planning.[74] The name "Snailbrook" alludes to the Boring Company's stated goal of building a machine that can bore tunnels faster than a snail can move.[74] In 2023 the town had a reported population of 12 people.[75] There are plans to establish a school and a university there.[72]
