Of course.

NEW: For the 3rd year in a row, Elon Musk’s foundation gave away less than it was supposed to. In 2023, it gave away $421 million less than the minimum required for a charity of its size, new filings show. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/u...

Tax them properly & they won’t need to play act philanthropy.

roosir.bsky.social•194 days ago

He gave it all to Trump

nuggetsfan1.bsky.social•195 days ago

And nothing will happen.

angrynco.bsky.social•194 days ago

All the charitable giving was to the Trump campaign

oeishik.bsky.social•195 days ago

He was busy filling Donald's coffers.

scottinclearh2o.bsky.social•194 days ago

Next he'll be stealing from children with cancer.

terilyn.bsky.social•195 days ago

This is Trumptastic

thegoldstonegirl.bsky.social•194 days ago

Give it away! He’s a strategic hoarder.

gobearcats.bsky.social•193 days ago

Such a great guy

numberjohnny5.bsky.social•194 days ago

Arrest this fucking spy.

passifloraresearch.com•194 days ago

I wonder for how much longer the NYT will allow this kind of reporting.

smlodoch.bsky.social•195 days ago

Oh my! No consequences though, right.

loloatlarge.bsky.social•195 days ago

Greed is ugly. No matter who does it.

europa56.bsky.social•194 days ago

And, of course, nothing will be done about it. He’ll skate right on through it. 🤬

onegrumpygoose.bsky.social•195 days ago

Off by $421 million?! Well that’s just an honest mistake right?! Screw these rich selfish people.

whidbey54.bsky.social•194 days ago

The man is a weird creep.

cleoloughlin.bsky.social•195 days ago

Rules are for the little people.

phonychristians.bsky.social•195 days ago

And yet the asshole wants to cut every safety net for the poor and take away people's Social Security and Medicare. He's a complete waste of oxygen

brooksbannister.bsky.social•194 days ago

I mean it’s only the entire worldwide gross of Twisters plus $50 million dollars.

claire1.bsky.social•195 days ago

Trash loser 🤡

peteferg.bsky.social•194 days ago

Does that include donations to crooked politicians?

primeimages.bsky.social•195 days ago

He spent it all on Trump!🤣

gabmaxwell.bsky.social•195 days ago

Charity and Leon is like tuna and strawberry jam, they just don’t go together.

bunlene.bsky.social•195 days ago

Well then he deserves all the breaks huh?

bestcoastshotz.bsky.social•194 days ago

How #shockingnotshocking

susersuzanner.bsky.social•195 days ago

Told ya this guy doesn’t donate.

eggsandbottles.bsky.social•194 days ago

It went to the Trump campaign. Mcdonalds is not cheap.

traceycavasin.bsky.social•195 days ago

Yeah’, of course I bet he claimed he paid a lot more

sjmlbrl.bsky.social•195 days ago

I’m shocked 😳 LOL

lindagill.bsky.social•194 days ago

Not surprised at all.

sarcasticdad.bsky.social•195 days ago

Evil robber baron Elon Musk, once again proves he’s an evil robber baron.

demarie61.bsky.social•195 days ago

He’s a disgusting human. He could solve world hunger with his money & still be the richest man in the world, but he chooses not to use his money for good.

finniebop.bsky.social•194 days ago

Surprise surprise.

riftravingrogue.bsky.social•195 days ago

Well there goes THAT department/watchdog group.

chelseyh.bsky.social•195 days ago

Captain Obvious here, but what a piece of garbage.

lisakaysperbeck.bsky.social•194 days ago

riverroadband.bsky.social•194 days ago

Well in his defense, he’s a crook working for a felon.

Piece of 💩💩💩💩💩💩

hockeylvr72.bsky.social•194 days ago

Why aren't we bombarding the IRS to revoke his 501 status? Oh, yeah...nothing will happen to the rich. 🙄

jonesro.bsky.social•194 days ago

Take away his 501c3 status!

bluemamma25.bsky.social•194 days ago

We need to capitalize on the sentiment in the US today. We need to let the billionaires know they funded the demise of our country. We need anti-billionaire CEO protests on Inauguration Day. In every state.

No peace deal in Ukraine. Either Nukes or NATO boots on the ground NOW!

Cancel his tax exemption.

ms-marts.bsky.social•195 days ago

Trash - no matter the money

drobb67.bsky.social•194 days ago

Did they count he $300M plus he gave to trump ? (ILLEGALLY !!!!)

cxmcha.bsky.social•194 days ago

I hate the orange one, but this guy is coming in a close second really close

kevingan52.bsky.social•195 days ago

Tax fraud—can we deport him for that?

ctqueerguy.bsky.social•195 days ago

And surely there’s no connection to them planning to fire the head of the IRS a few years early and install a lackey.

Complete coincidence.

blueheronjoy.bsky.social•195 days ago

Nothing will be done about it. As co-president, he has immunity and cannot be prosecuted while he is in office.

veryheavyuncle.bsky.social•195 days ago

Astounding.

Fucking astounding!

johnjnj1.bsky.social•195 days ago

What a cheap bastard. He can afford to give a lot more.

jobycatjville.bsky.social•194 days ago

Surprised?? NOT

marieinsedona.bsky.social•195 days ago

Scrooge McMusk. Nothing less sexy and unmasculine than having the resources to care for others and not doing it.

travelbugnyc.bsky.social•195 days ago

Why are these rich fucks such tight wads? You can’t take it with you. Plus, why isn’t the press covering what a drug addict Elmo is.

denny6526.bsky.social•195 days ago

And along with every other rich asshole, he'll face no consequences for it.

realdeal64.bsky.social•194 days ago

Someone sue this man.

bigrde1969.bsky.social•195 days ago

Just remember how he got this money 🤡🤡🤡🤡

bojabi.bsky.social•195 days ago

I have 40X more patents than Musk, and I actually invented stuff that almost everybody on Earth uses everyday. But I'm not a billionaire because I have no interest in stealing the value that others produce.

themidge.bsky.social•194 days ago

I'll take "Repugnant Shits" for a thousand, Alex.

paulgus.bsky.social•195 days ago

We are shocked said no one.

jjlivehere72.bsky.social•194 days ago

The level of greed makes one want to barf. Truly sickening.

itsdantheman.bsky.social•194 days ago

Egregious Elon at it again! Musky smell

judefado56.bsky.social•195 days ago

No one is surprised by this.

gwolf8958.bsky.social•194 days ago

The question is, what does the IRS say about this? He should lose the designation and be forced to at taxes on it.

looselucy.bsky.social•194 days ago

So what will happen? Nothing. The DoJ is completely toothless when it comes to billionaire accountability. Don't you dare get out of line, though, because "equal justice under the law" has been a myth since the Reagan administration.

dogsartandme.bsky.social•195 days ago

A fake foundation like the cult leader’s. He just wants the middle class to give him their money willingly so he doesn’t have to steal it, though he’ll have competition and the cult leader will win the fraud game.

ethicsshouldmatter.bsky.social•195 days ago

And it won't lose its charter or be held accountable

kamiejj.bsky.social•194 days ago

So this begs the question, what is being done about it?

trishei.bsky.social•194 days ago

He’s a greedy ah - no surprise. He’s also about to call the shots from DC.

jlovley64.bsky.social•194 days ago

It should be shut down then

craigbruce68.bsky.social•195 days ago

Just a thief. That has everything and is the richest in the world, still feels the need to steal. 🤦‍♂️

suz8110.bsky.social•194 days ago

Oh! The LIARS & CHEATERS again huh?

darthtastrophe.bsky.social•195 days ago

And what's gonna be done about it? Not a damn thing, because billionaires get to get away with everything.

klew64.bsky.social•194 days ago

It will stop giving completely in 2025

catsgotbaggage.bsky.social•194 days ago

You know billionaire is propaganda for dick

mledo.bsky.social•195 days ago

So where is the money going?

truebleu.bsky.social•195 days ago

Cheap bastard.

dasmwhit.bsky.social•194 days ago

Orc doing Orc shit.

craftykathy.bsky.social•195 days ago

And absolutely nobody is surprised.

joebauernotsure.bsky.social•195 days ago

3rd year in a row? Gee, maybe, I don’t know, revoke its charity status? How many mulligans do these assholes get?

joebauernotsure.bsky.social•195 days ago

“…gave away less than the minimum requires for a charity that size.”

If there are no consequences, then the de-facto minimum is zero.

tfbabb721.bsky.social•194 days ago

That happens when you funnel that money meant for a foundation into the coffers of a corrupt campaign to seat a convicted felon in the highest office in the land.

rjc1084.bsky.social•195 days ago

It’s unfortunate that he’ll put none of that towards homeless causes.

bunlene.bsky.social•195 days ago

Wait . He said homeless is for die hard junkies otherwise no big deal

swissmrs3.bsky.social•195 days ago

Completely believable….

anti-imperialist.bsky.social•195 days ago

Sung like you used to at high school sporting events:

Let's Go Class War 👏🏻👏🏻 Let's Go!

Fight the Rich 👏🏻👏🏻 Not the Poor!

Let's Go Class War 👏🏻👏🏻 Let's Go!

usmc86.bsky.social•194 days ago

I'm beginning to have some difficulties determining who is a bigger asshole- trump or phELON

churchlady320.bsky.social•194 days ago

Doubt there will be consequences. Sigh.

orlamccool.bsky.social•195 days ago

His wealth is obscene. He could do so much good and never be in need of money. His children and grandchildren would still be very rich. No one person should be able to accumulate this much wealth.
