I don’t think it is. This comes across as a fickle gesture from someone to improve their public image with almost no effort or commitment due to the absolute contribution seeming so grand but in relative terms it is not. But as I said in another comment I appreciate that I am probably being way too cynical.
- oxide 9y agoI think you're minimizing just how cynical you're being. 33 million dollars is not a fickle gesture, hand that money to MSF or EFF and watch things happen. Think of all the bullshit you have to buy to attend college, nevermind tuition. That'd buy you a truckload of books and calculators. Just because he has x billions of dollars doesn't mean x millions of dollars is worth any less to others, especially charitable causes. You're probably right though, but why not use the money to improve your public image after being crowned richest man on Earth? I can't think of a single good reason. sincerely signed, a cold, hardened cynic.
