Yeah, It's like the theory that Gates put microchips in the vaccines. First, your phone already does the job. And second, the actual conspiracy going on is that billionaires funnel their money through charities they own, and then make donations to influence the media and scientific research in their favour.

Donations don't get taxed. So if you own the charity you're donating you get your own tax-free income

I mean, the caveat is that you can't legally pull money back out of that charity. It's got to be used for the stated charitable purposes.
