Join us to explore how the ultra-wealthy exploit philanthropy, particularly through "Donor-Advised Funds" that allow them to store billions in donations with significant tax benefits. This practice skews public priorities to favor personal ideologies over collective needs and intertwines conflicts of interest, where the rich further their wealth and power under the guise of charity. We'll delve into examples like Elon Musk, revealing how such figures use philanthropy for personal gain rather than for economic justice.
