“‘Super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse’ should filed be listed among ‘Reasons that Western Civilization died’,”Musk wrote in a Twitter post referencing Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife.

    Unlike most philanthropists, who dispense funding for causes that impose specific reporting requirements, Scott has adopted a no-strings-attached approach toward her giving. This has won Scott plaudits from organizations who relish the autonomy she has given them.

    Wow. She’s actually a decent person. No wonder Musk hates her.

      Not her own money, money she got from Bezos in their divorce.

      But I still entirely support her usage of it. She seized half of Bezos’ money and is using it for good. We all know Bezos would have just kept hoarding it

      Edit: my god, do people not say “she took all his money in the divorce” anymore? I was pointing out that she rightfully took a ton of Bezos’ money and is now actually using it to do good, instead of it being hoarded by Bezos.

        She got it in a divorce that means legally it is her money, she could just cash it out and burn it if she really wanted to lol

          On top of that, she was heavily involved in Amazon from its inception.

          She earned her money just as much as Bezos did.

              I largely agree, especially in the case of Amazon which is notorious for worker rights violations.

              That’s why I described it as “as much as Bezos did” rather than in absolute terms.

                We are on the same page, I just don’t like adding /s.

                Amazon did so much bad shit that I would use all that money to make people forget that I was ever connected to it.

        Yes, her own money.

        That’s not money from Bezos, but rather her splitting out her share, that was always hers. Whatever objection you might have, whatever you think is a solid argument for her not actually earning it, has already been crushed flat by legal precedent.

        Her own money.

        Not her own money, money she got from Bezos in their divorce., just money that’s hers to do with as she pleases.

        If you get money via legal action, it’s your money just as much as any other money.

    The world’s richest man (who lives in America) talking about “Reasons that Western Civilization died” is almost Shakespearean. This would be a comedy if I wasn’t living in it.

      Hey he’s from South Africa which died for inexplicable reasons. It’s a total mystery which he’s trying to solve.

      Thats a bit of wishful thinking.

      All that would happen is the negative news about him would basically stop, and only his supporters would be posting pro-Musk shit.

      That would only work if everyone in the world hated the guy and he didn’t have billions to spend on a PR team.

      That won’t make him go away. In fact, it’ll just let him operate covertly. Let him operate in the light where people can see how much of a jackass he is.

    It’s always the super-rich assholes killing Civilization. They just keep leeching up all the money while crushing anyone who disagrees with them. Eventually the disparity is so huge you wind up with Haiti or some other authoritarian country run by absentee kleptocrats funneling all the money offshore while bleeding every last penny from the impoverished masses.

    Fuck this clueless twat.

    I don’t think an opinion from a misogynist woman hater means much.
    Also, this person is living with multiple untreated mental illnesses, so he’s not in the best frame of mind to diagnose the problems of the outside world.
    Not to mention he’s a child who never grew up.
