The term charitable is used in its generally accepted legal sense and includes relief of the poor, the distressed, or the underprivileged; advancement of religion; advancement of education or science; erection or maintenance of public buildings, monuments, or works; lessening the burdens of government; lessening neighborhood tensions; eliminating prejudice and discrimination; defending human and civil rights secured by law; and combating community deterioration and juvenile delinquency. Easy to see how a charity could line up with what Musk is interested in and/or his companies are doing. Advancement of space travel, advancing rocket science, reducing rocket launch cost for government, communications connectivity for people, electric vehicles and batteries, self-driving cars, reducing government costs for tunnels and transport infrastructure, relief for conservatives who were distressed about being banned from Twitter, advancing the Gospel of Musk, etc. EDIT: http://www.muskfoundation.org/ http://www.muskfoundation.org/ yep, looks about right.
