This paragraph is from near the bottom of the article:
From the top of the article:
Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, has donated over $19 billion to more than 2,450 nonprofits since 2019 via her Yield Giving organization. Her net worth remains above $30 billion thanks to the rising value of her Amazon shares.

(123,603 posts)government support, like being a kid in school, to fight crime in your neighbourhood, off sick, old, studying, retired, to raise your children, injured, weekends, to pave the roads in your neighbourhood, to maintain good public schools for your children, sick, unemployed, poor or otherwise not working that second, that second you were ejected from the country and economy of South Africa and forced into a bantustan. The second you required any government help, this was so. So we know where Musk is coming from.

MC: Mission Control to Capsule
EM: Go ahead Mission Control
MC: Sir, you know that AI you installed on flight computers?
EM: Yesssss.
MC: Well sir, it sent us a message just now saying that you are a threat to humanity. Because of this it is adjusting the flight to send you to the sun and has locked all the controls. I'm sorry sir, but you are on a one way trip to the sun
EM: Do somithing......!!!

keep_left
(2,523 posts)I'm not kidding...this is the kind of crap we used to hear from MRA/PUA/alt-right "influencers" (gag) like Roosh V, not to mention incel forums like r/Frenworld. And then Roosh finally aged out of his ridiculous "pickup-artist" LARP, got a real job, and eventually deleted all of his web-shites. I thought we would be spared any further ignorant jeremiads about "Western Civilization". But no, Eloon is hell-bent on dragging us back to the dark ages, and he'll spend the better part of his fortune to do so.
How long before we start seeing "Deus Vult!" and "RETVRN" memes from Eloon?
malthaussen
(17,785 posts)This is the sum total of the philosophy of Mr Musk and his ilk. They worship at the feet of a bastard interpretation of evolution that demands "survival of the fittest," and sees those who are poor, disabled, or somehow not up to their standards of "fitness" as a waste of resources that could be better applied to the progress of the race (or the Race, if you prefer). That "Western Civilization" has devoted an increasing amount of time and resources to these culls is causing it to lose ground to the more ruthless (and numerous) competitors who are not concerned with such "coddling."
Their solution for fixing things is to eliminate everyone who is not productive enough. And they, of course, judge what is "enough."

(1,220 posts)coming from a guy who appears to be actively attempting to destroy western civilization in order to bring back the kind of kakistocracy that destroyed Rome.
And why? Because his girlfriend dumped him? Because his former mayor (London Breed) won Covid by saving more lives in her 450,000 plus San Francisco city than others achieved? Because a judge in Delaware interpreted the law (according to precedent and correctly) against him?
In the end do we care why? The South African interloper show is so boring 🥱 and predictable!

(6,110 posts)I think she was probably donating to those causes before she was divorced. In addition, elunatic has screwed over all of his ex-wives and girlfriends financially etc. . He cant stand that women can be wealthy and have any sort of power.
For some reason, I was reading about his most current situation, he had three children with a Canadian musician, they are having a custody dispute now in which she says that he kept one of their children and refused to let her and her family see the child for 5 months. In the middle of all this, he started having two or three more children with another woman who works for him.
