It's not his money, though. Also, when you invest in your friend's business, you don't get to deduct that in your taxes.

It's not a business, it's a non profit founded by Elon Musk, Sam Altman and others, with $1 billion in committments to funding.

How is this controversial? Just because some people know each other?

Not american, but it seems like you have some information that you should contribute to your country's tax collection agency. I'm sure they would be grateful.

It's not Holden's money - he works for OPP, he doesn't fund it. The money comes from Dustin Moskovitz and Cari Tuna, and it's already in a trust.
