Why would it be negligence? 
I did some reading on an EA site about this, and apparently the brother of the guy that leads this foundation was a contributor to some anti-vax crap, so there's some thought that there is a link from those two to alt-right/extremist right in Sweden. 
But nonetheless, I'd remain somewhere around 100% sure this would be a surprise to Musk, too. It's not like he's clairvoyant, he's been funding that foundation since like 2014 or something to research AI stuff.
Edit: ahhhh downvotes for likely the only person who actually looked into this lol. How reddit
Shapiro told Expo that he is happy to answer questions concerning his journalism, but that he does not want to answer questions concerning whether he has been involved in contacts between Nya Dagbladet and FLI.
“I have no comment on that”, he stated in response to our questions.

So I take that as a yes then, since Max Tegmark (the MIT professor) is his brother. 

Markus Andersson, the editor-in-chief of Nya Dagbladet, had little to say to Expo upon hearing our questions about the newly-registered foundation, ending the call with the words: “You may not ask any questions at all. You can go to hell.”

Lol >

MIT you say? Interesting. Should be fun seeing where this goes in the next couple weeks >

I should say so >


Nya Dagbladet received a message: the foundation to promote “independent journalism” that he was in the process of setting up had been approved a major grant of money. The sum of $100,000 – about one million in Swedish currency 

BRB, have to go start a foundation for sexy parties uhhhh I mean journalism. >

All that he wants is another baby, he’s gone tomorrow grimes >

The only thing I didn't see coming is that Musk would have the good sense to launder the money through a third party rather than donate to the Nazis directly. >

Reading through the rundown in the article, I would be around 100% sure Musk didn't know anything about any of this nonsense. >

He’s listed as an advisor and gave them $4 million.  If he didn’t know the money he gave was funding nazis when he’s an official advisor that sounds like negligence >

He and a bunch of other people are "listed" of course because he provided some of the earliest money to fund the foundation, but it's a small fund so he's probably just listed as he is on a ton of different things he donates to and has no insight into the working details of some little university group in Mass. Think about it. Musk funds all kinds of shit. 
Even the guy running the thing sounded like he didn't know about the Nazi group getting the funding letter until someone was like "this is your signature, right?"
For context, this is a group that funds research grants into AI. Why would they be funding some Nazi group in Sweden? >

So, negligence?
