He's not doing it for tax write-offs, he's donating billions of dollars per year because he genuinely wants to help. He crushed a lot of people to get to the top, that's indisputable, but he's genuinely trying to offset that destruction now, and he's possibly at a net positive effect on the world now. Actually, I'd say he's probably at a net positive impact on the world.

See also early-1900s philanthropists who felt there was no point having a lot of money if you did not intend to spend every last cent. Liquor was illegal and the blowjob hadn't been invented yet, so hell, why not build a bunch of pools and libraries?

Human beings can be complex enough to acquire money through evil means and still want to do good things with it. Sometimes even for good reasons! They're not robots and they're not monsters. They're just assholes.
