The source directly confirms that Elon Musk donated $10 million to FLI in January 2015 to fund research grants. 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. The additional context about the donation being in January 2015 for AI safety research is also consistent with the source material.
