Elon Musk is after Jeff Bezos’s ex-wife MacKenzie Scott following her philanthropic gift-giving this month.

Scott announced on Tuesday that she would be donating $640 million to 361 organisations but that hasn't stopped her from pouring her wealth into charity work, according to Business Insider.

This came after Elon Musk accusing her of "destroying Western civilisation". In addition, people are assuming if he did it deliberately, so that she keeps losing money.

The is more than double the $250 million she had initially pledged to give away last year.

Lever for Change, which is an organisation that helped Scott with her philanthropic gifts, confirms that 279 nonprofits will receive $2 million each. Whereas, the remaining 82 organisations will get $1 million each.

The open call for applications "initially planned for 250 awards of $1 million each”, according to Lever for Change.

As judged by their peers and external panelists, but in light of "the incredible work of these organisations, the donor team decided to expand the awardee pool and the award amount.”

Scott's hefty donation comes weeks after Musk slammed her charity work.

Following Musk’s call out of her charity work, Scott's hefty donation surfaced.

"'Super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse' should filed be listed among 'Reasons that Western Civilisation died,'" Musk said in a now-deleted X post on March 6.

He did not elaborate on why he had singled out Scott. However, he's been a harsh critic of feats promoting corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion.
