Let’s say he donated the highest amount of 6 figure (i didn’t read the article), 999,999. His net worth is at 260 billion, would be the same as me donating $2.50 in regards to my net worth, and i consider myself technically pretty okay money wise. It’s absurd how much billions are…
He can write all of this off too, can’t he? God bless America.
Sigh.
It’s pretty cool how he has the ability to single-handedly improve the lives of people in absolute misery (it’d cost him nothing to renovate one homeless shelter, for example) yet he spends his money on stupid shit like this. /s
Fascism is not politely waiting to take over the U.S. and Putin is in on it.
Doesn’t that exceed political donation caps to PACs?
https://www.fec.gov/updates/fec-announces-2023-2024-campaign-cycle-contribution-limits/
The limit for contributions by individuals and nonmulticandidate PACs to national party committees has risen to $41,300, while the limit for individual and nonmulticandidate PAC contributions to each of the additional national party committee accounts has increased to $123,900 per year.
Just speculating here but it could be a joint fundraising committee donation. Basically allows a contribution to one entity to be distributed to many political entities. So the contribution limit would still apply but you can contribute to all people/pacs/parties associated with that committee. Doing some terrible calculations that would amount to like 1.7m if you maxed out contributions to every general election candidate ($3300 x 538) and excluding parties/pacs.

Remember when he donated $1 mil to Team Trees? Good times…
Fuck oligarchs, no room for them in a democracy
