Musk's contributions to OpenAI may total $57.4 million

Elon Musk has reduced his claim of donating $100 million to OpenAI to around $50 million. TechCrunch investigated the funding behind the original OpenAI nonprofit and found that Musk could not have given the nonprofit the $100 million he originally claimed. Tax filings reveal that the total amount donated to OpenAI’s nonprofit from its inception through 2021 was only $133.2 million. The vast majority of those funds arrived before the launch of OpenAI’s for-profit arm in 2019, and the nonprofit itself is now largely defunct. Musk’s contributions to OpenAI likely totaled $57.4 million.
