The material improvements he could have gotten for this money...
He could have created tens of thousands of homes in apartments and gifted them to municipalities to be social housing, putting a massive dent in homelessness.
He could have built and furnished schools. He could have bought public transit vehicles. There's countless things that would have real, immediate, material impact on thousands of lives.

I also spend mine on offering sliding scale, below market rent to those in need in the house I own. These things provide mutual aid and material benefits to others. Believe me, if I could afford to build apartments, I would be.
- solumunus 4y agoIf you were to do any of those things it would make the most sense to do them through your own charitable foundation... I'm not saying that's what he's going to do with the money, just that reading this story and then responding how you did makes no sense. Half the people in this thread seem to have absolutely zero understanding of what's going on here.
- ancapsfascists 4y agoI'm aware of how trusts and foundations work. Elon Musk has done nothing to suggest he's got charitable intent. The dude is barely one step above a con man, egomaniac, and compulsive liar.
