Elon Musk Plans To Establish University In Texas

Elon Musk is planning to establish a university in Austin, Texas, as revealed in a Bloomberg report. The billionaire philanthropist aims to contribute $100 million towards the construction of STEM-focused elementary and secondary schools before launching a university dedicated to providing education at the highest levels, as outlined in a tax filing for his charity, The Foundation.

The Foundation submitted its application for tax exemption to the Internal Revenue Service in October 2022, and it was granted in March of the following year, as per Bloomberg’s information. The envisioned institution plans to offer a hands-on learning experience, including simulations, case studies, fabrication/design projects, and labs. It will focus on educating students in math, science, engineering, and physics, with guidance from experienced faculty.
