Elon Musk Criticizes MacKenzie Scott's Charitable Donations

Elon Musk faced criticism for a now-deleted social media post in which he criticized MacKenzie Scott's charitable donations to race and gender rights charities, suggesting that "super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse" are contributing to the downfall of Western civilization. Scott, who received a substantial divorce settlement from Jeff Bezos, has pledged to donate half of her fortune to charity and has already made significant contributions. Musk's post is seen as part of his vocal opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and may also reflect his rivalry with Bezos, who recently surpassed him as the world's richest person.
