    There are many, many organizations that could benefit from his billions. You brought up his (undiagnosed) autism. How much has he given to autism charities?

      Have you ever had a thought that allocating his money may have less of a long term positive impact if he just donated it to various charities instead of allocating it towards more long term goals? Not saying it would or wouldn’t, but did you even consider that?

          I can’t think of any examples on top of my head, but after watching tens of hours of his interviews and such, I can asure you he himself believes his money would do more net good how he is allocating it now than if he just donated it all.

              Link me a comment where I was defending him for being antisemite. I’ll wait!

                  This doesn’t mean I don’t think him saying that Jewish people oppress White people is bad. I just was personally expecting an example which is even worse. If you interpreted this as me defending him for calling out Jewish people for something they didn’t do - you have interpreted it wrong. Either by your or my mistake, it’s possible I worded it in a way where it might seem like I agree with him. FYI I still don’t know the context, and I highly doubt he is actually an anti-semite (tho maybe I’m wrong, but I doubt it).

                    I just was personally expecting an example which is even worse.

                    What is ‘even worse’ than bigotry? You asked me to show you an example of him saying something horrible. You clearly don’t think saying “this is true” about the claim that Jews oppress white people isn’t horrible enough to be called horrible for some reason.

                    I still don’t know the context

                    The context was that there was an antisemitic tweet and Elon said ‘this is true.’ I’m not sure what more context you need.

                    I highly doubt he is actually an anti-semite

                    He said ‘this is true’ in response to an antisemitic tweet. Guess what that makes him?
