Yeah was the stuff.
Quick, let's shake things up at this bank. It'll involve guns.
ooooh, sounds exciting and innovative!
Move fast (because they triggered the silent alarm) and break (into the bank vault)

I guess it's a good thing you're always angry.

Oh yes, the amount of money they said could solve world hunger. Which is why he "donated" that amount, but wouldn't say to whom.

i've been doing this for years. yet another idea he did not create
MacKenzie Scott is just like "I dunno I gave 5 million dollars each to 200 different charities. Didn't even cost me a dime" and Elon musk is donating his money to himself.
Oh for sure. But I do think, unlike all the other philanthropic billionaires, she has actually given away, like, $5bn per year for the last 3 years.
Still a ways to go, but, like, she's actually doing it, unlike all the other "The giving pledge" billionaires who are in fact most famous for not giving any shit away ever.
I got audited once cause I wrote 56 cents by accident instead of 65. Over 11 cents... But this will go on unpunished I bet
it's not inherently illegal, just usual rich person tax loopholes
In fact it's extremely common unless there is something here different then Bill Gates many "donations" to his own charitable orgs that he wrote off.

The Sacramento one did take a shot in the teeth last year during the statewide blackouts due to the heatwave and did partially go offline, but was restored due to all the engineers and on-call datacenter employees they had on staff...Key word had. There's no word on how many on-site engineers/data center operators are left within the company, but a large portion of them are indeed gone.
Wud yoo laek to lern aboot meatz? Look here!
if anyone remembers that patagonia billionaire who donated money to 'charitable causes' Adam Conover has a good breakdown of how, exactly, that process usually goes
What a fucked up way to distribute wealth. So what, I have to go bow and scrape to bill gates, tug my forelock to Warren buffet, make a sympathetic video that goes viral enough Musk takes an interest? That’s some feudalism shit for real.
I prefer that good old, “give us our fair share or we’re burning your shit down and guillotining you and all your mates” style, tyvm

Somebody from the UN criticized Musk, noting that $6 billion could "help" solve world hunger and resolve a specific short term hunger crisis. Musk lied and said "prove to me $6 billion can solve world hunger and I'll donate it" in order to do lovely things like delegitimize food aid and play into the narrative of governmental/charity organizations having no competence at controlling money.
Unfortunately, everyone, even the people who think Musk is an ass, ran with the framing that Musk used for the whole incident, which means a lot of people reflexively assume $6 billion can solve world hunger even though it can't and nobody credible ever really argued it could; even by saying Musk's sham donation is "instead of solving world hunger" or whatever is kind of falling into Musk's trap since most people will probably think (correctly) that doesn't add up.

As if anyone who meant him harm couldn't just look up the publically available information on their own
this is why they will never take my hope, my fight from me. i'm not special; we all are. those that benefit from telling us we're alone will find out just how wrong they are
it sucks that we have to fight, but when i feel defeated i have to make myself remember we're in this together. they can't defeat us all

Oh don't worry, that conspiracy is well represented in the replies
Follow the money
I did, it went to Musk. He's very wealthy.
Also remember when he sent a bunch of CPAPs to hospitals and called them respirators.
That's why I call us the Apes of Theseus. How many DNA changes are required before we're *not* human?
