Elon Musk Is Planning a New University in Austin
December 13th, 2023Musk has known that education has been broken for many years. For his own children, he and others worked on project based approach to school. This became known as Ad Astra.
My guess is that Musk is going to need a lot more employees with skills that aren’t being taught in normal schools in the years ahead.

Elon Musk, who moved to Texas during the pandemic, is planning to start a university in Austin, according to tax filings for the billionaire’s latest charity called The Foundation.
The new institution, seeded with a roughly $100 million gift from Musk, will start with a STEM-focused primary and secondary school. Once that’s operating, it “intends ultimately to expand its operations to create a university dedicated to education at the highest levels,” according to an application to the Internal Revenue Service for tax-exempt status obtained by Bloomberg.
