How do you donate 30 million anonymously? Cash? That's 300kg if they are USD 100 bills.

Extrapolating exponential growth from a short sample of exponentially-looking growth is incredibly naive. First, because we have well established examples of how progress stagnates after an initial crazy period (compare the first 50 years of aviation with the next 70, or the first 12 years of space exploration compared with the next 53). Second, because the logistic problem exists; as described by the logistic equation, the (always) limited supply of resources quickly changes exponential growth into a plateau.

Reply to Is it possible that only 4 moose imported to Newfoundland in 1904 could produce a viable modern population of 110,000 today? by SlipCritical9595
Here is an answer from a mathematical and not biological point of view. It seems like moose cows breed more or less annually annualy from age 3 to 11. So I assumed that each female produces 2 females during her life, that is has calfs every other year and half are female; I assume they die at age 11. I'm ignoring all other factors, but just trying to give a perspective on how these things work.
With the above parameters, here is the female population every 10 years:
Year 1: 2
Year 11: 20
Year 21: 164
Year 31: 1277
Year 41: 9931
Year 51: 77181
Year 61: 599847
The point is that these processes are exponential, that is they grow pretty fast.

Honest question: how is saying "your mom's a hoe" out of the blue, a "joke"?

USA is metric, just doesn't want to openly admit it 😉
