Sure, I'll do it after I'm dead.
Or maybe not. Guess you'll have to outlive him to find out if he's just a scummy billionaire like the rest.

Like him buying all farmland he can get hands on? That's not ancient history. Or him monopolising vaccines? That kind of "good"?
Is everything he does good? No. Is this story about a good thing? Yes.
Only if you buy his PR.
