Elon Musk's next venture set to launch this year: a private preschool

Elon Musk is expanding his reach as he launches his newest venture: early childhood education.

Located in Bastrop, Texas, Ad Astra is a private preschool that is accepting applications for children aged three to nine. The school's website said that Ad Astra will subsidize tuition for its opening year, after which costs will be set in line with local private schools.

"Ad Astra's approach to education is centered around hands-on, project-based learning, where children are encouraged to explore, experiment, and discover solutions to real-world problems," the website said, adding that its curriculum will be centered on integrating STEM subjects into the classrooms.

A notice from the Texas Health and Human Services Department said the preschool obtained its initial permit on November 14, officially allowing the school to open in 2025. Per the permit, the preschool can admit up to 21 students in its first year of operation. The school's application materials first obtained by Bloomberg said that the school's long-term goal is expanding into a university focused on STEM learning.

Is Texas a school voucher state?

Musk and Trump hate the same people they hate.
And they admire ruthless criminals who can commit crimes and get away with it.

He did this before in starting in 2015 in Cal - Ad Astra grammar school for his older kids and children of Space X employees - limit 20 kids.

Now - he has 6 kids under 4 so he’s making a school for them probably and for employees kids etc.
