Looks like this is getting downvoted, but it is absolutely true.

Garry Tan is fully aligned with Elon Musk in going after MacKenzie Scott's charitable giving, making spurious arguments that she's doing it in the wrong way when they are all just running cover for the fact that she's one of the few at that level of wealth being charitable at all these days.

Silly woman, she should give her money away the right way, which I guess is by attempting to buy political power.
