Philanthropy linked to Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX could approach $300 billion
The Washington Post reports that philanthropy associated with Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX could approach $300 billion. Anthropic plans to donate 5% of its shares, while OpenAI’s foundation reportedly holds equity worth over $180 billion. Musk plans to give SpaceX shares to every US child. Most of the reported giving involves private shares or future pledges, so available funds depend on valuations and share prices.
