Tesla’s immediate India options are limited, but the future is promising

Apart from being known as a business magnate, the 49-year-old Musk is also charitably bent. In 2002, he founded Musk Foundation along with his brother Kimbal. In 2010, the Musk Foundation and SolarCity donated a 25 kW solar power system to the South Bay Community Alliance’s hurricane response center in Coden, Alabama. In July 2011, it donated $250,000 towards a solar power project in the tsunami-hit Sōma, Japan. Among other charitable feats, Musk donated $10 million in 2015 to the Future of Life Institute to run a global research program aimed at keeping artificial intelligence beneficial to humanity. Musk is also a top donor to American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a nonprofit organization which aims “to defend and preserve individual rights and liberties” in the United States.
