Elon Musk began the new year by donating nearly $100 million in Tesla shares to unspecified charities, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The donation, made on December 30, 2025, is part of his year-end tax planning. Recipients reportedly have no intention to sell the shares. This donation represents a small fraction of Musk's estimated $619 billion net worth. The move precedes Tesla's annual sales figures report, amidst predictions of a second consecutive year of falling sales.
