- Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey also made a significant contribution to the campaign following Musk, donating 150,000 trees to the tree-planting cause. YouTube is also planning on matching the next million dollars donated to TeamTrees through the YouTube donate button, Donaldson wrote in a tweet.
- According to the campaign's website, one dollar is equivalent to one tree, and each tree will be "planted in a variety of forests on public and private lands in areas of great need."
