Anthropic, OpenAI, and Musk's charitable donations exceed the Gates Foundation by more than three times
The combined charitable donation pledges of Anthropic, OpenAI, and Musk have exceeded the Gates Foundation by more than three times, but the three have adopted different models: a corporate fund, a nonprofit foundation, and directly distributing shares to children. About 20% of Anthropic's shares are set aside for public benefit, comparable in scale to the OpenAI Foundation, and its co-founders have each pledged to donate 80% of their equity. Musk plans to distribute 1 share of SpaceX stock to each of approximately 72 million American children.
