Rather than give his factory workers and delivery drivers a better, living wage and working conditions, he'd rather rehabilitate his public image after spending a ton of money going to the moon like a gilded age robber baron.

Amazon is making record profits and is able to deliver tons of money annually to shareholders and Bezos, so I don’t buy that there’s a cashflow problem here.

Lets not forget, bill gates is also saving world while giving away money. But in reality its another money making scheme with ton of shady dealings in the background.

More recent example Patagonia, also given away to charity to benefit the world, in reality a charity on the paper designed to avoid inheritance tax.
