According to Bloomberg News, which had all the juicy details on Musks tax filings, the plan kicks off with a primary and secondary school that will eventually blast off into a full-fledged university.

The filing spilled the tea on the school's ambitions, revealing it's set to seek accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.
