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.”. 🫤

I don't think this is all that bad tbh. My lottery dream is to set up a nonprofit and offer jobs to my friends. We wouldn't collect donations so I'd be paying all the staff salaries anyway.
