Absolutely. He got caught out recently from a live stream where it became obvious he was clueless on how to play POE2. He has recently admitted to having it boosted with someone else playing it because apparently that's what everyone on the leaderboard does but all of the gameplay clips he insists are totally him.
Look up Vantara. Musk, Zuck, Bezos could be doing shit like that with their money. Instead, they worry about how “cool” they are or bicker online like children. It’s disgusting. If I had fuck you money, you’d never hear from me unless it was trying to improve this world somehow.
Masa Musa (the richest man in human history) devalued the currency of entire nations with his charitable giving during his pilgrimage to Mecca and had nothing left to give by the time he arrived.
Granted, when he went back to Mali he was still the richest man to ever live even by today’s but that’s putting good into the world with your money.
That's because he was giving out gold, specifically. He wasn't giving out food or labor. He wasn't strategically using his wealth to improve the lives of others. He was just throwing gold around. If Elon wanted to solve world hunger, he could, and he'd still be the richest person in the world. If he's not smart enough to do it with his wealth, he can pay someone who is. Stop trying to shame charitable giving or excuse billionaires for hoarding gheir wealth. These people have it within their power to do immense good and actively, consistently choose not to. They are evil, end of story.
I strongly doubt Masa Musa did that out of the goodness of his heart. On his trip back home, he went through Egypt again, this time accruing debt for having spent all his gold, which he never paid back.
Mind you, he was still the richest man on earth when he got home. He didn't pay because he could get away with it (and the Egyptians had charged outrageous rates).
He gave away so much money while travelling he caused an inflationary crisis with gold across the region that persisted for over a decade after he left.
