I don’t think they can get a tax break, but they definitely get the media attention.

Well if they donate that money to their own charity then I'm sure they figure out some way to keep most of it. "Admin costs " and such.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

No, that's not how it works. All they get from the donation is good PR.

A lot of billionaires have their own charities.

You telling me they only do it for PR?

I don't believe it. That's just not consistent with their greed.

I'm sure that the charitable image is part of it. But I don't think they are doing it for only that reason.
