business tycoon by the name of Steve Kirsch in Delta’s first-class cabin. The business owner documented their experience in a message on Twitter, which has since gained widespread attention despite the fact that it was negative all around.
According to Kirsch, who is 67 years old, he made the offer of one hundred thousand dollars to the woman sitting next to him in order to get her to take off her disguise after he told her that covering one’s face is not helpful. Despite the fact that the offer was declined by the co-passenger, who Kirsch claims is in her mid-60s, the tech tycoon tweeted about the incident.
A film producer made light of the situation by joking that now a large number of people will attempt to travel with him and be seated next to the tech tycoon.
Robby Starbuck stated in a tweet that “a lot of people are going to try to fly with you and wear masks in order to get that offer now.”
Many people were critical of him and accused him of being a fraud. On the other hand, this is not the first time that Kirsch has offered money to individuals on board an airplane in exchange for them removing their masks.
Kirsch had claimed in a post that he had made on Substrack that in the past he had offered $10,000 to individuals sitting next to him, but both of them had declined the offer. The post had been made by the millionaire.
According to reports published in MIT Technology Review, Kirsch established a research foundation for the possibility of treating Covid and contributed one million dollars to the endeavor.
