I'm not a fan, but he still has time. They used to say that about Bill Gates, but he just wasn't ready yet. Then he became ready and created his charitable foundation and now gives enormous amounts.

@SW-User It's not a violation of the law to uncover corruption in the government by order of the President. Why should Musk go to jail?

Sometimes people only donate because it is a good tax write off. As far as I know Musk doesn't even do that and maybe it is because he couldn’t live with himself if a penny of his wealth went to helping someone else. Cheers!

What a wasted opportunity. He could buy a lot of goodwill across the political divide by putting a tenth of his estimated wealth into a blind philanthropic trust. But I sense he is not the sort of man who would relinquish control so easily. Or give away cash without a clear transactional return to himself.

Like Trump, when he helps people, its done privately with personal interaction. He is not looking for praise and publicity. Something I'm sure you libs have never considered.

@MarmeeMarch Fact remains most of the donations his Foundation have made have been to other Foundations he has created which primarily serve the needs of his businesses. More manipulation of the tax code for self-benefit than philanthropy to meet societal needs..

@MarmeeMarch Like dismantle our government, but you know, he once gave a few bucks to a school he set up several years ago.

IDK but he doesn't seem the "type" to be into helping others

Well I guess you don't consider St Jude's children's hospital Worthy of your list.

@dale74 Agreed!

I've got my money in Berkshire Hathaway, and as a result have made thousands in the last week :)

@SW-User even Warren Buffett has said the tariffs will cause some downturns in the short term but in the long term it will be significantly beneficial to Americans. And heck if Trump is able to reduce the deficit and the expenditures of our federal government to the point where he can do away with taxes on everybody making under $150,000 that would be fantastic. For anybody middle class and lower.

He said no such thing. This was a quote falsely attributed to him that's been circling on far-right social media platforms.

You honestly think that's gonna happen? He's coming for the middle class next.

Bill Gates created Microsoft using savage business strategies to form a monopoly of endless greed that holds the world at ransom to this day. In doing so he also amassed obscene personal wealth. He tries to create good PR and to feel good about himself by letting a little of his useless fortune go to charity.

@ffony While Elon Musk is gleefully firing workers left right and center, and helping to trash both government bureaucracy and the global economy?

@SW-User What question are you asking?
They're like non-identical twins.
(Edit) My comments about Gates are in response to mention of him on this topic, by @poppies.

Democrats pooping in their mess kit again :)

Why are Democrats so resistant to cleaning out government inefficiency and fraud? The answer is pretty obvious.
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@SW-User Harris and Democrats ran on a hate Trump campaign, they loss. Democrat hatred and vile for anything that isn’t Democrat endorsed is like poop in their own mess kit. And they keep pooping in that same mess kit and eating from it. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
SW-User
@Heartlander Feel like proving your statement?

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
As we have proved by voting for Trump AGAIN.

most celebrities that claim to be philanthropists tend to do it more for show/for favoritism (or an attempt to cover up a shifty past...), and couldn't give a flying fuck about any cause...
