Musk has donated around $7 billion of stock to the Musk Foundation. The Musk Foundation qave $5 million to a United Nations program called Giga that helps rural nations connect to the internet. It turns out that two of those countries (Rwanda and Kazakhstan) ended up as customers of the Starlink satellite service. Starlink is a subsidiary of Spacex, which is owned and controlled by Elon Musk. Musk Foundation donated $1 million to Flint schools for water filters and laptops. A million dollars is not nothing, but it's also not close to what he promised. Oh: I need to add that Musk sent a Tesla executive to Flint to qive rides around the city hall parking lot in a self-driving car, so there's that.
