One thing I've learned is that "committed to donate" does not equal "has actually transferred and paid the actual money"

So it's just a headline to try and drum up other donations until the receipts are made.

This is a good point. Musk, like Trump, is well known for making huge promises that amount to nothing. He wouldn't even own Twitter if a court hadn't forced him to make good on his promise to buy it.

Maybe it'll be like the Twitter bid and we'll see a lawsuit in which everyone loses.
