MIT has named its new "College of Computing" after the CEO of the private equity company Blackstone.

Blackstone has invested many billions in fossil fuels in the past few years.

Just in 2015 it was investing ten billion.

Blackstone is also buying up oil wells in various countries.

Blackstone has bought up a lot of US housing. It spent millions to defeat a ballot initiative for rent control in California.

Blackstone also invests in the company NSO that makes the Pegasus attack software. There is some sign that this product was used to spy on Jamal Khashoggi's conversations with a dissident from Salafi Arabia.
