Tesla CEO Elon Musk has donated 210,699 shares of the electric vehicle manufacturer to undisclosed charities, according to a recent regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The gift, valued at approximately $100 million based on recent stock prices, was executed on December 30, 2025, as part of a year-end tax planning strategy.
The SEC documents specify that the recipient organizations have “no current intention” to sell the newly acquired stock. While the filing does not identify the specific beneficiaries, Musk has a history of funneling similar gifts into the Musk Foundation, his personal non-profit focused on renewable energy, space exploration, and pediatric research.
This move follows a established pattern of significant year-end giving by the world’s wealthiest individual.
