NoteThe source directly confirms the claim. The Wikipedia article states: 'The FLI research program started in 2015 with an initial donation of $10 million from Elon Musk.' This matches the claim's exact stored value of 10,000,000 (i.e., ~10 million) as of 2015, and confirms that Elon Musk donated $10M to FLI in January 2015 to fund research grants on AI safety. The source also provides additional context that $7 million of this was awarded to 37 research projects in the initial round. The temporal reference (2015) and the donation amount both align precisely with the claim.
