"Additionally, Elon Musk will depart the OpenAI Board but will continue to donate and advise the organization. As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will eliminate a potential future conflict for Elon."

Bit of a nitpick, I read this sentence a few times because it sounded a little confusing, but shouldn't that be: "but will continue to donate to, and advise the organization..." rather than just "to donate and advise..." sounds like he's donating OpenAI to someone. I'm unsure.

Do you think he's in a position to donate the organisation to someone?

Think of it as "...will continue to donate and will continue to advise the organization," with the repetition taken out.

Cool. Judging from his statements, he has very limited knowledge of the current state-of-the-art in AI. Because he is a great entrepreneur, has knowledge of other domains, people think he must know what he is saying about AI too.

Edit: Original title had Elon Musk on it. My comment refers to him.

What kind of AI solutions would Tesla work on, aside from automated driving software?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, but if the object had to be included for advise for clarity, you'd think it'd have to be included for donate as well, no?

Do you need any more? "automated driving software" is a pretty big umbrella.

The addition of Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton, two olympic athletes with no obvious ties to this, struck me as interesting. Does anyone have any insight to that?

The Eatons are now in the Bay Area and are working in tech. Here's an article about their transition: https://medium.com/south-park-commons/ashton-eaton-from-olym...

"to donate to" would be more correct, but very likely, a prickly editor said "YOU ENDED YOUR CLAUSE WITH A PREPOSITION, BE GONE WITH YOU!" and deleted the 'to'.
