She says Keep It and Spend It on Something That Actually Helps People!
Im honored by the generosity, but I cant accept this, Staley told reporters. There are far more important causes that need that kind of financial attention, and we have a responsibility to direct our resources in ways that truly make a difference for those who need it most. If Elon Musk wants to make an impact, there are millions of people out there who could benefit from a financial push in areas like healthcare, education, and housing. Thats where this money should go.

(16,515 posts)Trump did not invite them to the WH, until 6 months after they won the championship and he was basically shamed into it.
Why would FElon offer 10 million to them. My guess is to get his foot in the door to dismantle the team.

(51,559 posts)The UN World Food Program gave him a comprehensive plan on how they could use the money to feed 42 million people across 43 countries. And his response was just kidding, no money for you.
People shouldn't underestimate how much of an A-hole he is.
