Musk donated about 11.6 million shares between August and December last year, according to the filing, which did not say which organization or organizations were the recipients.Tesla did not immediately respond to an email seeking details on which charity or charities got the donations.Analysts have said that Musk might benefit from gifting Tesla stock if he donated it to charity, since shares donated to charities do not have to pay capital gains tax, as they would if they were sold.
Musk signed the Giving Pledge in 2012, a commitment by some billionaires to give at least half their wealth to philanthropy in their lifetime or upon their death.
