Is this the first pick-me billionaire, trying to keep his head off the block?
Some basic Google sleuthing shows he's a centrist and hasn't made a public political donation since the 90s and that was $5000.
He has the second largest private personal charity, Dalio Philanthropies, which seems to dabble in a bit of everything.
Private charities don't thrill me, because it can be a huge source of dark money and it still maintains the charity owner's personal will and keeps their personal influence level high instead of just donating money to be used however the people receiving donations feels is best.
This link gives a little more specific insight to what he participates in, but it's still fairly vague. He's basically trying to do the Gates/Buffet give it all away by the time you die thing, so it's probably as good as one can expect from a hedge fund guy.
We need a French solution to the billionaire problem.
And that's from 9 years ago. It's definitely gotten worse
They figure this time they can implement total surveillance, total control. Everyone will either be a prisoner or a guard.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Billionaire warns...
If only there were anything a helpless hedge fund billionaire could do to reduce inequality.
Billionaires control the system, yes, but a billionaire is bound by it as much as you are, just in a different way. So yes, what one billionaire can do to reduce inequality is limited.
I miss when headlines weren’t almost all Onionesque
I seriously cannot distinguish them from each other at this point.
The current government can’t understand commoner speak, it’s like a foreign tongue, you must have billionaire in your title to have a pedestal to speak. So let’s not attack this person. We should applaud and encourage…. Still gallow them later but not yet.
Billionaire says what??
Not every billionaire wants to be a technofeudalist or an oligarch. I bet a bunch of Russian billionaires don’t like the situation they’re in but are afraid to leave.
Awww poor wittle babies. They just wanted to exploit their workers and take their labour in peace awwwww.
Put a sock in it.
Not billionaire apologia!
I don’t apologize for or excuse anyone, I merely explain. Most people around here seem to prefer to hurl insults rather than understand the world around them. I block them.
Show us who you donate to politically.
Someone did in another comment. I don't know how accurate it is but here it is.
We know. We have eyes.
Turning?
well give your money away to non billionaire owned charities until you are not a billionaire?
This should read "billionaires warned"

Nice of the evil giant troll to inform us that they're eating us via one of their representatives. I wasn't sure where the rest of my body went.
You're a billionaire. Do something about it.
