Elon Musk announced yesterday that he would be donating $30M to Cameron County, $20 of those, he said, would be going to Cameron County schools, however, School officials say they haven’t heard from him.

I think the exciting part is that Mr. Musk recognizes how important it is to invest in public education because in investing in public education you’re really investing not only in our community but really our world,” said Alicia Noyola, Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District.

In a release, Port Isabel ISD said they haven´t heard from Elon Musk, but we’re really excited to work with him. 

“Point Isabel ISD is excited to have Space X right in our backyard, and we welcome any collaborations with Mr. Elon Musk and the Space X program. At this moment, our school district has not received any information about the comment made by Mr. Musk. However, as soon as information becomes available, we will notify the public.”
