“But where is the fun of that?” says Elon Musk probably.

I mean, as much as I think gates/bezos have abhorrent business practices, they do both have fairly large charitable foundations, and iirc, both have actually built literal hospitals with their money.

Totally not a setup, lol. Have you ever been in the hospital industry behind the scenes? I bet the Zuck wants access to the people’s data and/or funneling money through it somehow.
JimmyJazz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Bold of you to assume they wouldn’t find some way to fuck that up too

Oh wow this is real?
Bahalex@lemmy.world 11 months ago
He didn’t build it, but yea his name is on it because of his money. Not that PR money means he has morals. Although, it is a hospital for real human people, not other lizard types.

Just the name really is a mouthful to say seriously.

Yes, it really was renamed after the Zuckerbergs, as buildings sometimes are at the request of a large donator seeking posterity.
See Wikipedia:
In November 2008, San Francisco voters approved an $887.4 million general obligation bond for the General Hospital rebuild, work began in 2009, and was expected to be finished in 2015.
In 2015, Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, and his wife Priscilla Chan gave $75 million to help fund equipment and technology for the new hospital.

And it's not like American hospitals don't make money hand over fist

That would require them to be mature and not sociopathic.
Kichae@kbin.social 11 months ago
And that would preclude them being billionaires
