Just how generous are Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos?

I’ve written recently about the vast wealth now in the hands of tech billionaires, in particular Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, and how they should consider breaking up their companies to bolster our Democracy. Here, I want to delve into another facet of what might be considered their personal responsibility namely, philanthropy.

First, among this cohort, it’s widely acknowledged that Bill Gates is light-years ahead of the others not only in terms of his own giving and with the Gates Foundation, but also in terms of organizing his fellow billionaires into joining the Giving Pledge. And of course all Gates has for his trouble is trolls insisting he created the coronavirus. (No good deed goes unpunished, even if you are one of the richest people in the world. Maybe especially if you are.)
