Man I spent all my life ignoring this guy and now he's all on my timelines.

Yes, he's a fuckwad. Of course he is, he's a billionaire. Can we move on?

I mean. I hate the guy. But this is a sort of shit article. It doesn't highlight anything faux about his philanthropy. It just makes the point that the changes he makes are short-lived and unimpactful to communities. But if you're gonna call it fake, at least have something genuinely faked in the article.
