I’m indifferent on the guy.
Glad he’s using his money to do shit that makes some people’s lives better. Strange that he uses it as content… but better than musk hoarding wealth and belittling people on twitter.
So I guess better than my bellwether for a shitty person.

It’s essentially throwing a slab of meat into an arena and watching the starved poors fight to the death over it, then watching while you’re served the equivalent of thanksgiving dinner by your butler/maids in a safe climate controlled room.
There comes a point where “philanthropy” simply becomes rich people making games for the poors to win a “prize” and seeing how they react for their own entertainment. The lambo example seems pretty much spot on for that.
