Elon Musk has gone after Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife MacKenzie Scott, who has become one of the world’s biggest liberal philanthropists since her divorce.
The Tesla boss deemed Scott’s massive charitable donations to left-wing nonprofits as ‘concerning’ on a post he shared on X on Tuesday.
Musk was reacting to a post that explained how Scott gave $2billion away in 2024 ‘to groups with with stated missions like “Empowering Latinx immigrants,” “Deportation Defense,” and “Justice and equality for LGBTQ immigrants.”‘
Scott acknowledged another $2 billion in donations in 2023 in a blog post on Wednesday, bringing the total she’s given away since 2019 to $19.2 billion.
She does not comment on her giving beyond the rare post on her website, has shaken up the nonprofit sector with her embrace of ‘trust-based philanthropy,’ providing big grants with no strings attached to over 2,450 nonprofits.
Scott has written previously that she doesn’t respond to press inquiries in an effort not to overshadow the work of the organizations to which she donates.
Musk previously said Scott and other ex-wives of billionaires are destroying Western civilization.
Following her divorce from Bezos after 25 years of marriage, Scott became one of the richest women in the world, with a 4 percent stake in Amazon.
