I know this is going to sound like some clickbait bullshit title, but I’m genuinely curious, asking in good faith. My two oldest sons are enamored with him, and he seems like a genuine guy, so I’m asking - is he a nice guy? If you google the question, you get a bunch of reddit hate, which I don’t always trust, because…it’s reddit. I have not watched much content (not my thing, I’m old) but I’m just curious what the fediverse has to say.
This is it right here.
Thats narrow minded, it can be both
That’s naive. Leaving the rich in a position to “save” the poor is nothing more than enabling a power fantasy for them. It leaves them with all of the power and control.
You cant force someone to save anyone, its their choice
You seem to truly believe theres no rich person who would give out of the kindness of their heart
Do you think the people who get the help see it the same way, or is just us privileged folk who feel uneasy?
Exploiting others for self promotion is always going to cause more overall harm than good.
How?
By that thinking Bill Gates has done nothing but harm, yet he has done leaps and bounds for health research. They’re one of the few reasons malaria is even getting research money. He’s probably a narcissistic ass, and I’m sure he’s partially supporting the foundation for taxes/clout, but he’s actually saved the lives of people. If they want to spend their millions and billions on helping people for clout, then go for it. It’s better than whatever the fuck Musk is doing.
Exactly, it’s like Jeff Bezos thinking the best he can do with his money is go to space.
Regardless of the motivation, surely if that money is going to a better cause that will help others that’s a good thing
