Give shares directly to public: Elon Musk as Anthropic pledges 5% to public fund

Elon Musk, reacting to Anthropic's plan to commit 5% of shares to a public benefit fund, stated he would skip the middleman and put the ownership directly into the hands of people immediately. "I recommend giving the shares directly to the public," he said. With existing employee commitments, around 20% of Anthropic's total equity would go towards public good.
