Dustin Moskovitz might not be as famous as his fellow Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, but he made a big splash Thursday night when he committed $20 million to Hillary Clinton and other Democratic groups in a bid to defeat Donald Trump, whom he accused of carrying out “a deliberate con” to promote “his personal brand.”
The donation to pro-Democrat and pro-Clinton groups will add to an already wide fundraising lead Clinton holds over Trump. Counting both the campaign committee and outside groups, the Clinton effort has raised over $435 million so far, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, compared to $160 million for Donald Trump.
Moscovitz’s $20 million pledge would make him the third biggest donor in the 2016 election cycle CNN Reports.
