I cannot speak of charities but I know he fired thousands of people from Twitter for not answering an email. Very similar to what he is doing with the 'what did you do last week'. He asks people to work 60 to 80 work weeks and sleep in offices, then fires them anyways. Pays poorly, takes all.
I ask because in the past month he has taken away food aid from people fleeing war, ended live saving programs to address TB, Malaria, HIV and others, fired thousands of government workers, defunded useful science programs and worsened overall outlook for poverty and disease.
Same guy that called MacKenzie Scott's donations to equity causes "concerning" and that super rich ex wives that hate their former spouse, the doom of western civilization. Don't know what he's donated to but apparently not to any causes that help diversity, people of color or LGBTQ communities
