Elon Musk Is Planning a New University in Austin

Elon Musk, who moved to Texas during the pandemic, is planning to start a university in Austin, according to tax filings for the billionaire’s latest charity called The Foundation.

The new institution, seeded with a roughly $100 million gift from Musk, will start with a STEM-focused primary and secondary school. Once that’s operating, it “intends ultimately to expand its operations to create a university dedicated to education at the highest levels,” according to an application to the Internal Revenue Service for tax-exempt status obtained by Bloomberg.

I am wondering if he is still naming the school as Texas Institute of Technology & Science, or TITS for short.

 

"South Harmon Institute of Technology" was taken?

 

Uh yeah - it kinda was, IIRC. About 17 years ago, In a movie -- here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accepted

Back then I chuckled momentarily and shook my head. "Oh, that Elon!" Today I yawned... I am no longer 12. I have moved on... a bit.
