For your information (I didn't knew) the Giving Pledge is a initiative launched by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to ask billionaires to give 50% of their fortune to charity.

Thiel is now trying to convince is fellow billionaires not to sign it or to unsigned it because the money would go to “left-wing nonprofits that will be chosen by Bill Gates.”. 🫤

Hey, this rich guy made a killing in a developed country, and instead of spending it all on blow and hookers, he invested a bunch of it in our local infrastructure. Then he hired his kids to run a non-profit that built more infrastructure for us. Fuck him, right?
