what did elon musk say about bezos giving away 26 billion
Elon Musk’s response was basically: “Sadly, yes.” He was agreeing with a post saying that MacKenzie Scott’s giving was “making the world a worse place.”
He also reportedly replied to another post by saying, “Maybe she didn’t feel like it 🤷♂️,” when someone asked why she didn’t use the money to solve world hunger.
What he was talking about
The comments were aimed at MacKenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife, who has donated more than $26 billion to charity through her giving.

Context
Scott’s giving has been widely covered because of its scale and speed, while Musk’s reaction landed amid broader debate about billionaire philanthropy and what kinds of causes get funded.
