The most whitewashed billionaire in existence. Insane people still buy into this slush fund campaign.

Bill Gates is more evil than Elon Musk.

Why not hate on the billionaires who aren't giving away billions of dollars?

Tankies can't have us cracking their fragile absolute values.

Because he isn't doing anything either. He promised to get rid of it in 20 years.

First, he's a psychopath, I don't trust a word he says. Additionally, in 20 years he'll be almost 90. Aka huge chance he'll be actually dead of old age.

And last, you don't get to fuck the world for decades and then suddenly become a good person because you promise to stop being a shitstain in another 2 decades.

The sad thing is that even if he gives away 99% of his wealth he will still be obscenely rich. Multitudes richer than the average man.

That’s not necessarily sad. It can show all these billionaires that they will still be ridiculously wealthy without hoarding

He should open low cost private schools and libraries. We’re going to need them.

Sure, I'll do it after I'm dead.

Or maybe not. Guess you'll have to outlive him to find out if he's just a scummy billionaire like the rest.

Someone's public relations department is working overtime so Billy boy doesn't get eaten.

? This isn't the giving pledge, which is ALSO still active. The Gates Foundation is massively increasing its budget so it won't survive in perpetuity, trying to fill a portion of the gap created by the death of USAID.

There are many things to be mad about. This is not one of them.

What? Is that not how this works?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 0 points 21 hours ago

too bad he vouched for vaccines to be only distrubted by the USA, which makes the cost high for poorer countries. people like him have an ulterior motives of what he is doing.

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good guy bill, saw him also giving shit to Musk as well recently

Bill Gates accused Elon Musk of killing poor children as he announced Thursday that he would donate his remaining fortune to his charity

What a turn around from the 90's
