For example, one reader emailed a link to an article on an advertisement-filled website displaying the headline, "BREAKING: Tyler Robinson's Father Vows to Donate $1.15 Million Reward to Charlie Kirk's Family." My son wronged the Kirk family, and it's my responsibility to help him face that mistake. I want it to go to the Kirk family instead." Digging into the rumorThe user or users who fabricated the rumor sourced the $1.15 million reward number from several different places. Ackman later posted (archived) on X he still planned to donate his promised $1 million, and that he would also donate (archived) $1 million as an endowment to the Kirk family.
