Off-putting article: easy to spend someone else's money. Bezos's philanthropy budget is a tiny fraction of US govt spending - why not pick on that instead? But human space travel is a fiasco, a giant waste of resources with little upside - it actually is an immoral use of money.

Yeah he could do any one of those things or a lot of those things or he could continue to look far into the future when one planet can't sustain our species' wants and needs. Far more resources out there then there are on this planet.

It’s fair to ask why he has so much money. Who has he underpaid or oversold? But telling other people how to spend money is just irritating.
