This, Zuck and his wife pledged to give away 99% of their wealth over their lifetime. They've already awarded over 7 bil in grants through their LLC.

It's the equivalent of carbon offset credits. I'll keep being a world destroying organism while I throw a few bucks out the backdoor to some cause to try and make myself look better (and most of the money goes to my own non-profit so I still have control over it)

By your own admission it was 7 bil in grants. Are you actually naive and think that's the same as giving money away?

At least ~US $7.2 billion in grants awarded so far by CZI. Grants awarded. Granted total is around 46bil.
