Elon Musk has come under the spotlight after reportedly donating $100 to the man who intervened to stop an attacker at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, a gesture that has quickly ignited mixed reactions across social media.
The tech billionaire’s contribution was presented as a show of appreciation for the bravery displayed during the frightening incident. Many applauded Musk for publicly recognizing the man’s quick thinking and courage, calling the donation a symbolic nod to everyday heroism.
However, others were less impressed, questioning the modest amount in light of Musk’s immense wealth. Critics argued that the figure felt underwhelming, turning the conversation into a broader debate about what meaningful support from billionaires should look like.
Amid the online arguments, one fact remains unchanged: the man who disarmed the attacker is being hailed nationwide for his decisive action, with supporters insisting that real heroism cannot be reduced to a number — no matter how loudly the internet does the calculations.
