Anthropic, OpenAI and Musk pledge over 3x the Gates Foundation's endowment
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-10-23
Rohan Paul compares the philanthropy structures of three AI powers: Anthropic's co-founders have each pledged 80% of their equity, with about 20% of the company's shares set aside for public purposes—on par with OpenAI's foundation. Each chose a different vehicle: a company fund (Anthropic), a nonprofit foundation (OpenAI), and direct shares to children (Musk). Combined, the pledges exceed three times the Gates Foundation.
