Elon Musk Donates About $100 Million in Tesla Stock to Unnamed Charities

An SEC filing describes the December 30 transfer as year-end tax planning.

Overview

  • The transfer covered 210,699 Tesla shares on December 30, according to an SEC filing released this week.
  • The filing did not identify the charities and said the recipients had no current intention to sell the stock.
  • Reports note the gift is modest relative to Musk’s roughly $619 billion net worth, based on Bloomberg estimates.
  • The donation extends a pattern of large stock gifts as Musk seeks greater voting control, with a shareholder-approved pay package that could lift his stake to nearly 29% if targets are met.
  • Tesla is expected to report annual sales on Friday after publishing an analyst consensus that forecasts a second consecutive yearly decline.
