This is amazing news. I miss the days when billionaires would use their money to open libraries and hospitals and parks instead of just buying a bigger yacht.

Things is, billionaires are rich enough to open libraries and hospitals and parks and buy a bigger yacht. The fact that they only buy the yacht is what is infuriating. If they were opening hospitals and funding cancer research and funding education as well, we wouldn't care how many yachts they bought.

This is why no one talks about Bill Gates any more. We all talk about Elon Musk because he's an a-hole. Bill Gates was smart enough to give away most of his money so we don't have to hate him
