What Happened?

On January 22, 2021, Elon Musk donated five million dollars to Khan Academy. As many know Covid-19 has closed and shut down many schools; this is proving to be difficult for teachers, students, and parents to help their kids learn; because of these circumstances he made this generous donation.


Salman Khan’s response

In a video response Salman has informed the people “This is going to allow us to accelerate all sorts of content. Our aspirations are all subjects -- from kids to early stages of college. This will accelerate our science content, allow us to do more early learning, allow us to make the software and the practice that much more engaging.”
