MacKenzie Scott has donated billions of dollars to organisations that deal with gender and race
Tesla CEO Elon Musk hit out at MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, for donating millions in charity.
On X (formerly Twitter), netizens wondered, “who is Bezos’ ex giving money to?” One of the users replied, saying that she has made most of the donations to organisations that “deal with race and gender issues.”
“Super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse’ should be listed among ‘Reasons that Western Civilization died,'” Musk responded, referencing Scott.
Scott and Bezos, who were married for 25 years, took divorce in 2019. As part of the settlement conditions, Bezos paid $38 billion to Scott in Amazon shares.
And since then, she has built a name for herself through her philanthropic efforts by giving away nearly $16 billion to over 1,900 organisations.
This wasn’t the first time Musk slammed Scot
In May 2022, Musk announced his decision to vote for Republican party as he felt that the Democratic party had given “a very cold shoulder” to Tesla and SpaceX. He added that his firms were being ignored due to Scott’s donation to “PACs posing as charities.”
“It’s safe to say that MacKenzie [ahem] Scott is not exactly a big fan of her ex-husband. Unfortunately, a lot of others are getting caught in the crossfire,” he wrote on X.
