Poker Pro Igor Kurganov Manages Elon Musk's $5.7 Billion Charity Fund


Igor Kurganov, a former poker player-turned effective altruist, is running things at Elon Musk’s foundation.

Elon Musk donated $5.7 billion of his Tesla stake to charity in November.

Igor Kurganov and Liv Boeree founded the REG project, which focuses on effective altruism.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
