Philanthropy has always been how the ruling class whitewash their crimes.
and psychopathy, and deviances. people fell for gates "generosity" for decades.
People even argued about it here on lemmy like a year ago. Brainwashing goes deep.
he was literally doing PR on REDDIT AMA, in around 2016-19, he stopped because epstein was arrested/suicided and dint want the attention to draw upon himself. in covid he made sure vaccines were only developed by specific companies, so no other generics/ similar was available to places like africa, whom he was "donating to"
Him or his PR firm. We all know about their PR firms because elon started to believe his own PR firm and feeling so smart he sacked them all (then promptly calling people pedos and wrecking his carefully crafted image of some misunderstood genious) lol.
I remember that reddit thing btw. Wild actually.
Philanthropist means stealing 10 million from the needy, and having someone else donate 1 million in your name to an organisation controlled by yourself, using 99% of the money on "administration" costs, and then giving a childrens hospital whatever secondhand clothes you can scrounge up for the rest.
Average ""philanthropist" His charity even takes the rent for their PR events and spins. Bro better not show his face around the city or someone might break TOS.
