Imagine driving through the heart of Texas, near Bastrop, and spotting a brand-new preschool. This isn't just any playground; it's a Montessori private school called Ad Astra, funded by Elon Musk. The school is open to kids aged three to nine and can accommodate up to 21 students. Interestingly, there are no kids or teachers in sight yet.

Elon Musk isn't new to educational projects. He often includes them in his business ventures, sometimes using the Ad Astra name. This new preschool might be intended for the children of his employees, who work at nearby companies like The Boring Co. , SpaceX Starlink, and a building owned by X, formerly known as Twitter.

A job posting for an instructor gives a hint at Musk's vision: "While their parents push boundaries, their children will grow into the next generation of innovators. " The focus is on creating a future where kids learn in a unique, authentic Montessori way.

Musk has shared his views on education, including his support for Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign and his stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in schools.
