Hold on to your cosmic hats, folks, because the space saga continues! Elon Musk, the Tesla titan himself, has set his sights on none other than MacKenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife, for her jaw-dropping philanthropic escapades.
Musk, the man who once sent a car to space, apparently doesn’t like Scott’s charitable shenanigans, taking a swipe at her for showering billions on charities supporting women and minorities.
The Tesla magnate didn’t mince his interstellar words, venting on a random Wednesday about ‘super-rich ex-wives who hate their former spouses’ being one of the ‘reasons that Western Civilization died.’ Dramatic much?
But here’s the kicker – the fiery post that would make even a rocket engine blush is mysteriously missing from the digital universe as of Thursday. Yep, he took it down faster than you can say “Mars colonization.”
Elon’s cosmic commentary was, believe it or not, a response to another user’s beef with Scott’s benevolence, slamming her for funneling funds into organizations tackling race and gender issues.
It’s not the first time Musk has unleashed the SpaceX dragons on Scott’s charitable endeavors. Back in 2022, he connected the dots between the hostility towards his companies and, you guessed it, Mackenzie’s generous donations to PACs posing as charities.
Now, before you start thinking this is just another rocket-fueled feud, let’s dive into the Elon Musk Chronicles of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).
Spoiler alert: Musk’s stance on these efforts hasn’t exactly been kept under wraps, and let’s not forget the accusations of sexism that have peppered his intergalactic journey over the years.
But wait, there’s more to this cosmic soap opera! Let’s take a detour into MacKenzie Scott’s post-divorce philanthropic odyssey.
Active on social media.
Picture this: after her cosmic uncoupling from Bezos in 2019, Scott floated away with nearly $37 billion in her celestial pockets.
But instead of hoarding her space treasure, she pledged to donate half of it to charity. Cue the philanthropic fireworks!
Fast-forward to today.
Fast forward to today, and Scott has made it rain, giving away over $16.5 billion to more than 1,900 nonprofits, as documented on her dazzling Yield Giving website.
The plot thickens as we navigate the celestial dance of Musk and Scott, two titans clashing in the cosmic arena of wealth, philanthropy, and interstellar drama.
So, dear reader, strap in for a ride that’s bound to be bumpier than a Falcon Heavy launch. Will Musk’s SpaceX tweets reach new heights, or will Scott’s philanthropic star continue to shine bright in the galactic abyss?
The space saga unfolds, and we’ve got a front-row seat to the cosmic clash of the titans. Buckle up, Earthlings!
