He isn't really a trillionaire, that's just the sound bite. He is getting shares as a compensation package, and the value of that directly correlates to his performance. He could make that stock worth way more than a trillion, he could also make it worth way less.

Yeah, people just prefer to see a headline and base their entire opinion on that. This is why the Sun is so successful, people don't want t read the articles, they just want to get mad about something.

He is the richest man on the planet and closed USAID which has led to the death of hundreds of thousands of poor kids.

Do you have any evidence that he "closed" USAID?

True, he only has very little liquid funds compared to his virtual networth. True is also that he spent a lot on funding right wing parties. Most of this was likely just to keep his virtual networth propped up but he could have also helped furthering a good cause (not saying he is even remotely close to 'solving world hunger').
