The conspiracy is in pushing the narrative that people are being paid to migrate.
The money he committed is not "to fund migration". It is to help alleviate the effects of what he calls a global crisis of forced migration. Your characterization makes it sound like he is bankrolling and encouraging it, but instead he's focused on helping those forced to leave their countries for reasons like violence and/or extreme poverty. There is nothing wrong with trying to help those who need it most, and helping them integrate is beneficial for the host countries as well.
This is from your link:
> In response, I have decided to earmark $500 million for investments that specifically address the needs of migrants, refugees and host communities. I will invest in startups, established companies, social-impact initiatives and businesses founded by migrants and refugees themselves. Although my main concern is to help migrants and refugees arriving in Europe, I will be looking for good investment ideas that will benefit migrants all over the world.
As for the MasterCard claim, as another poster pointed out, there is no evidence for it.
