Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz commits $20M to help beat Trump

A co-founder of Facebook is donating $20 million of his fortune to Democratic coffers in a late and likely consequential move to help defeat Republican candidate Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. The funds are a surprising infusion of cash from an individual who has never before been active in politics.

Dustin Moskovitz, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur with a net worth of more than $10 billion, announced early Friday that he and his wife would make a historically large donation to a half-dozen Democratic groups, including those backing Hillary Clinton. The donations, once issued, will make Moskovitz the third most generous donor in the 2016 campaign.

Well, it's their money to waste however they see fit. Wonder how much their laying out for anti-gun/anti 2nd amendment initiatives? Seems like nannie bloomers and the momunists are over 3 million in Nevada for Question 1. Plus plenty of ads on TV.

[mainestategop]

They censor conservatives like me on Facebook. I can’t count how many times I’ve been banned from them... I hope Hillary Chokes on it!

[circlecity]

Hillary spends that much every week and it hasn’t helped her cause.

[originalbuckeye]

And WE’RE constantly smeared with being ‘the Party of the RICH’. Oh, the hypocrisy!!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Notice how the Left have no problem with billionaire money in politics as long as their side benefits from it.

[Lopeover]

These leftist commies will pay millions to democrat party candidates, but to keep them in power, nothing to inner cities to help the black community!

[oblomov]

I’ve pretty much stopped using FB.

When I say “pretty much”, I mean that I check in once in a while.

I also make sure that my “like” and “clickthrough” behavior is random enough that I won’t fit into any of their customer segments.

[WakeUpAndVote]

Really. It’s September. Pouring more money into it at the point on means someone is going to bribe someone.

[goldstategop]

I hope he throws away his money.

There is zero enthusiasm for Hillary and $20 million will not move the needle.

Dustin Moskovitz is an idiot.

[PGR88]

And WE’RE constantly smeared with being ‘the Party of the RICH’. Oh, the hypocrisy!!

Isn't it really so???? I am thinking which corporations have come out against Trump already - Goldman Sachs, Facebook, Google, Pixar - how many am I missing?

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Every conservative still using Facebook will receive what (s)he deserves.

[Renegade]

Dumb Juden?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Zuckerface has been funding illegal alien advocacy groups with the money he is making.

Stop using Facebook.

They are using the proceeds to steal your country from you.

Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz commits $20M to help beat Trump

Time for my yearly eye exam and new lenses. I scanned this headline and first understood it to say "Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz commits suicide to help beat Trump".

[George from New England]

It is so obvious that this election is about ...

1) Status Quo (continue to waste)

2) Time to rollback the Fed Gov (fire half the FedGov)

You mean to say we are not being monitored here on FR? That our true identities are irretrievably hidden from snoops?

[rktman]

Just about all of them? 🤑

[StAnDeliver]

Moskovitz didn't like the movie because, well, he's nearly invisible in it, and yet was probably the one responsible for FB's initial ramp-up infrastructure.

Laughably he's had two duds since then, included Path which got a shtton of bad press a few years ago and was dumped last year to a SEA FB wannabe...

[HomerBohn]

Let’s just get off Facebook and ANY so-called social media! Why line their pockets when they are supporting the leftist agenda which is robbing us of our nation and any semblance of morality?
