It’s a reference to The Story ‘A Christmas Carol’ By Charles Dickens. The story revolves around A Selfish, Mean Old Rich Man named Ebenezer Scrooge that is visited by 3 (mostly friendly) Ghosts telling him to change his ways. It’s a really good story, You should read it/watch a movie of it sometime!:)

He is going to create a foundation “aka charity” as a tax shelter… One that he will control and utilize as his piggy bank…. Similar to the Gates, Clinton, and Obama Foundations… Full disclosure I am sure the other political cult leaders have them as well there as just very well known.
Come on who the heck couldn’t connect the dots in this one. People need to stop entertaining these remedial posts.
It’s a tax exemption thing, I guarantee it.
He should give it all to a charity that pays out living wages to each and every amazon worker
Yes, it’s a joke! The tweet humorously compares Jeff Bezos’ pledge to donate the majority of his wealth to charity to the story of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, where the protagonist, Ebenezer Scrooge, is visited by three ghosts who convince him to change his ways and become generous. It’s a clever and lighthearted take on Bezos’ decision!

Hi, my name is now legally Charity.
Walten Files x Jeff Bezos before Silksong 🙏
A Christmas Carol
*Four* ghosts, dammit. Everyone always forgets Jacob Marley.
I’m not buying it it’s either a fake story or he saw what happened to that CEO and is scared to death and is just saying that some people don’t Luigi him.
Since Amber Heard we all know what ‘pledges’ really means.
Warren Buffet said he was going to do that. Plot twist, he left it all the a trust controlled by his kids. It’s just tax evasion.
Bro how bad is your knowledge of literature to not get this
Hopefully it’s the ghosts named

It would never how much you’d explain it the man’s got money and I don’t think Charles Dickens got to him
Donating it will not redeem his sins
Man how dumb are you that you need internet help to figure this one out?
which charity?
He already did, he just used his ex-wife as an intermediary.
Immediately? Or at some future, undisclosed date?
He is talking much over the day. As long as he didn’t donated it’s only manipulative marketing. He is a billionaire, without the ability to lie or to „bend“ reality he would be at the position he is today.

I suspect it’s another tax dodge. Like the gates foundation
The day he dies is the day we discover he’s being noshed off by side piece named Charity
The actual joke to explain is Bezos won’t.
Ghosts of Christmas!!! And possibly the ghosts of tax advisers!!
Read a book
It’s becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain a positive outlook on society.
We know how it works. Patagonia founder did the same. They open a charity, become ceo of it, and pay no taxes on their fortune while distributing peanuts
No mamma Mia?
I AM CHARITY NOW

A pledge doesn’t mean shit
Hey Jeff,
While that’s a noble deed, instead of donating $124b to random strangers after you die, how about you give $124b to the workers who put you up there in the first place? Or, I dunno, split it. Maybe make less than $5b this year and pay your workers a decent wage for busting their asses off so you can look like a “cool guy” and go to space?
Yes ofc his earth fund will save the world from all the Amazon waste and cheap micro plastics from no name Chinese brands
Here’s a thought, pay your correct amount of tax And your workers fair a wage while just generally not being a greedy prick while your alive.
Pretty easy reference to get…
“Gentlemen.. Now appearing on the Center Stage…. Charityyyyyy…”
Or Luigi 2.0
The ghost of Luigi mangione must of visited his ass
Or he remembered all those times he’s been out in the open with a clear sight picture from all the nearby buildings.
