And I suppose this world-historically rich Afrikaner is prepared to pay the high personal taxes required for such a scheme, no? Words speak loud than actions, no? He will not be troubled by the skin color of recipients (“universal”), yes?

30k+ responses so far. I haven’t used X in a long time but that seems very high. Wonder if his bot network was put into play?

Maybe, but I'm not surprised by the number. Saying something triggering about a topic that's triggering from a man that's triggering is bound to get responses. It got me to respond to your response.

I'd prefer an ACH transfer over a check.

Is this some sort of restrict-the-payments-to-the-elderly ploy, or are checks still commonly used in the US?

I'm in my late 40s so remember dealing with cheques back in the 90s and 2000s, but I imagine that anyone under the age of 40 in the UK would be utterly baffled.
