Elon Musk.
  • Elon Musk's charity platform, the Musk Foundation, has come under scrutiny from The New York Times.
  • The Times reported that half of the foundation's donations had links to Musk or his businesses.
  • Set up in 2002, the foundation's website has a very plain-looking design that's devoid of graphics.

Elon Musk may be best known for his entrepreneurial endeavors, but he also engages in philanthropy.

In 2002, the billionaire started his charity platform, the Musk Foundation, with his brother, Kimbal. In 2021, Musk donated $5.7 billion in Tesla shares to the foundation.

But its website appears sparse for an organization endowed with billions of dollars from Musk's fortune.
