What happened to billionaire philanthropy? Insight Doha
Buckle up for 37 minutes of QF Rumble Studio madness! Doha’s blazin’ skyline at the Qatar Economic Forum (May 20–22, 2025) sets the stage, a Bloomberg ticker runs wild, and a soup tureen steals the damn show! We’re divin’ into: “What happened to billionaire philanthropy?” Gates and Buffett are outta here, tech badasses like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are dancin’ with the devil Rolling Stones - Dancing With Mr. D – tech over charity, baby! Elon drops the mic: "I'm runnin' Tesla five years to build humanoid robots. It ain't about the cash!" (Bloomberg, May 20, 2025). Filmtext glowin’ red: “Business as usual – we’ll be back for ya shortly!” – signed off by Senior Editor Laurie Jeanne (100% freakin’ awesome!).
Markus Krebber (RWE) and Julian Nebreda (Fluence) light up the energy game: gas, renewables, and battery storage are straight fire, fueled by AI. Krebber’s hypin’ the Inflation Reduction Act, Nebreda’s all in on AI juice. Vincent Piquet (Ampere) brings the electric mojo: Twingo under 25K euros, 40% cost slash, break-even by 2025! Marc Champion breaks down Europe’s Ukraine grind, Richard Clarida (PIMCO) spills on the Fed’s “wait-and-see” vibe. The Bloomberg ticker’s goin’ nuts!
Doha’s skyline pops off, the soup tureen winks “Thank you for watching!” – then Doom And Gloom Rolling Stones - Doom And Gloom hits with an FX explosion! Mick Jagger, face all sooty, looks around like: “Holy crap, we survived that?!” From billionaire riddles to energy revolutions – this trip’s gonna blow your mind! #Philanthropy #EnergyRevolution #ElonMusk #RollingStones #QatarEconomicForum

bloomberg.com , A letter from our Editor-in-Chief
Thank you for taking a look at what we do.

Every day, Bloomberg’s 2,700 journalists and analysts break news all the way around the world. But we also try to explain that world in all its complexities, so that you get the bigger picture. We cover more companies, industries and markets in more depth than anybody else, and we are always looking for the links between them.

As they say, context changes everything.
