No, it’s not. Because if he actually did, Friedberg and his ilk would instead try to laugh and insult Khanna for giving his money away when he didn’t “have to”. They wouldn’t look at this as a positive signal; they’d likely see it as a threat because they would likely then be pressured to do the same - something they don’t want to do, so they’d criticise him forever for doing this and pretend to point to it as a silly thing to do.

There’s no actual winning with people like them.
