diverting charity from stuff that's actually effective to his spectacle can be negative charity. i forget all the details but i remember a few years ago he was in on some river trash thing that was just worse than a different thing conservationists were already doing.
Agreed, he's not like some altruistic super selfless individual with some grand vision of an equitable future for all. He's just some weirdo who's so obsessed with his clout that he will literally just give money away so people like him. Not in a way that fixes the underlying issue, or even in a way that promotes some private interest like most liberal/conservative/religious charities. He's just a selfish chaotic neutral.
