Gates said Musk had canceled grants to a hospital in Gaza Province, Mozambique, that prevents women transmitting HIV to their babies, in the mistaken belief that the US was supplying condoms to Hamas in Gaza in the Middle East. “I’d love for him to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut that money,” he said.
I don’t like Gates as a person. He was out in front arguing that the Covid vax needed protection as a commercial product instead of open-sourcing it. But he’s a thousand times better than the fuckwad Musk. I have no notes for him about his comments in this article.
I’m not going to defend Bill Gates and say he’s a great guy. But I will say that he regularly gives away massive amounts of money and funding to those in need, unlike Elon… So per chance maybe we shouldn’t be as dismissive of someone in that position that is not entirely out of touch with reality. Elon could feed and clothe and medicate more than Bill but does not.
Right. Billionaires shouldn’t exist. But as with everything else in reality, there is a spectrum.
And while Bill Gates isn’t a good guy, he’s way better than Musk.
Bill believes in egotistical altruism. Elon thinks that life is a zero-sum game.
