Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is pledging $1 billion—what he says is more than a quarter of his wealth—to charitable causes, starting with coronavirus relief

Twitter Inc. co-founder and Chief Executive Jack Dorsey has pledged to set aside $1 billion to fund charitable causes starting with relief efforts toward the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Mr. Dorsey on Tuesday said the money would come from his stake in financial-tech company Square Inc., which he also co-founded and runs. The amount, he said via Twitter, represents about 28% of his wealth.

He hasn't apparently donated anything yet. Where are you Jack Dorsey?

He looks like the perfect James Bond villain

Good for him!

Send it directly to the American people if you really want to make a difference.

I can't even get someone to help this disabled vet make house repairs. Geez.

Applaud it, don't hate on other people for what they do with their money. Just be thankful for those wealthy people who do at least something towards the problems of the world, rather than simply amassing more money, and causing bitter discontent.

Bezos, Zuckerberg what say you?

Or leaving for moon?

You think he can hire someone to give him a haircut.

Is this true?

It’s not charity if you must trumpet your endeavors to the world. It’s blatant status-seeking and virtue signaling.

Why not just write $1,000,000 checks directly to the citizens, hospitals, and small business owners? Better than sending to some bureaucracy which will dole out to the well connected.

Wow!

And trump is donating $0 while profiting from his Presidency . Sad!

But I thought all billionaires were evil? BernieSanders ewarren AOC

Wondering why he will 'support girl's health and education'? Why not for the boys? How young are these girls anyway? Just sayin'...

Great job Tyrion!

leeg30067 Bravo Jack Dorsey!

And BIG BUCKS TRUMP, who touts his wealth is pledging 3 months salary which btw is taxpayers money.

🛎👀👂👍 ✨🇧🇪😷💪😷👏💐🚨🌡🌎🦠🌍🧪🌏🚨👏💊💉💕🙏😷🇧🇪🇪🇺

Thank you dear dorsey,thank you.

Well done, sir

Wow

Remarkable pledge & initiative set forth by Jack. His leadership and foresight we be well received by the business community and aspiring enterprises that are able to meet the challenge.

Are there any assholes left that don't understand how this scam works? Billionaires don't 'give' their money away without making sure they get it back.

1/3rd of his wealth (1 bn out of 3 bn) is a lot of money. Thanks. This is known as the true art of giving back to the society. JeffBezos should learn from him. Bezoz, world's richest man has donated peanuts 100 Mn out of 117 Bn even though Amazon is earning a lot during COVID19

World needs more people like this.Hopefully the money is towards developing cheap new technology for testing people for various health issues.I would suggest him putting his attention on fixing the medical system.Make access to quick easy medical diagnostic equipment easy to get

What a legend

NorakGroup Twitter's JackDorsey pledges $1 billion in Square stake for coronavirus relief

I’ll take money laundering techniques for $800, Alex.

Wow! Now that’s impressive.

Twitter’s Jack Dorsey pledges $1B to slush funds, including cleaning some money as “coronavirus relief” in order to funnel it back to himself later. “Fixed It.” FactsMatter

About time. What the hell does he need the other 3 billion for. More censorship. If he had any morals, he dedicate $3bln. Surely jack can get by on a billion dollars

This is the 1 of the only 2 rich people we're not eating.

thank you xxx take care

Shauuudiii Thank you Billionaire !!! Part 14

thanks jack.i love you for big action.

The Deep State Cabal has lost: 'Pandemic' falling apart. Jack is pulling all stops to fund The Coup. Crimes Against Children puts his entire portfolio at risk for seizure, so whats 28%?

Let’s have an oversight committee on where it’s actually going

Ugh he’s so perfect

Can he afford a shower and a haircut? Looks like a hobo!

Good move. Twitter

How about getting masks into the hands of healthcare workers yesterday. The people hardly see the money in these “charities”.

Grateful to you.

Slush. Fund

Alleged billaionare Doanlf Trump has not offered a cent of his own alleged wealth to help in the COVID19 fight. Alleged real estate magnate Donald Trump has not offered one of his properties to help in the COVID19 fight.

A billion dollars can pay a lot of average folks mortgages out here suffering. Do that instead and let the health care and pharmacy companies come up with a solution jack still think it’s great what you’re doing but go direct and help us!

He could simply remove Trump’s account - and help save the world *and* end the pandemic.

Democrat slush fund.

So amazing!!

Thank you Jack and may you enjoy a heightened life state 🙏

he's giving the money to himself

By charitable causes you mean “family planning” and population control, correct? Because nothing says “I care about humanity and the planet” more than limiting life itself.

Lets see where exactly the money goes, right jack? You certainly don't want any tomfoolery going on, do you?

Y’all stupid liberals made it a competition and tried to push political statements about how much billionaires should be giving instead of focusing on how it would affect those recieving it. Y’all idiots are never happy

Why do you still need THREE BILLION dollars jack? Seriously, give it away dude. You know it’s wrong to hoard wealth you’ll never use when others are suffering and your money could help them. You can change thousands of lives for the better - give it away. Just do it.

Amazing. Wow. Thank you.

Amazing how this guy gets loved but our president gets trillions for the people and small business. Provides a plethora of PPEs and masks and ventilators. Get the military medical involved... list goes on. All for the people and too many hate on him. Just curious behavior.

Okay jack I live in the moat densely populated rural area in the USA and I could and would use $25mil for multi purpose dome structure for disaster relief, youth ed, trade shows, emergency med, storm shelter twitter twitterlive jackdorsey DM me

Let me guess 'The Clinton Foundation'. ! GetToFuckJack

Jack is a good guy and he's also a bitcoin supporter, so double points in my ledger. Thanks Jack!

What is Coronavirus relief exactly?

That's multiple steps in the right direction...it is my hope that this candle you have lit, will enlighten the path of the numerous rich, that they walk in the path you have created.

Money laundering

How much is Donald Trump donating? Not a penny?

That’s awesome. Hope he can get by on the remaining 3 billion though

Go 'head Jack with your bad self. Jack

the currency of kindness is what's moving the world now

You da man.

Gracias!

He’s that rich and that’s the hairstyle he chose? Jesus Christ

want a medal?

Well done
