Bill Gates calls Elon Musk’s embrace of far-right politicians abroad ‘insane shit’

Nosferatu says Dracula has gone too far

Pistols at dawn. One less billionaire either way.

Count Chocula is my buddy

Could be two!

Bill Gates became friends with Epstein AFTER he was convicted.

[a_chilean_cyborg@feddit.cl]

Mr Gates actually has some power to do something about the crazyness and shittines of the world we live right now.

I don't discredit his philanthropic work, some of the things he does is actually good, neither that he calls out the insanity, any sane person should do, but, and this but is as huge as the Titanic, Mr Gates, is able to do something about it, and has been for a long time before shit hit the fan tbh, actions speak louder than words, specially the lack of action lmao.

If Mr Gates really feel this way, he should do something about it, he has the money.

Only abroad?

I bet Elon can't jump over a chair.

I feel like it's the other way around.

Dracula can at least fit into polite society.

[jaybone@lemmy.world]

Maybe Elon’s mommy will allow him and Zuck to have a chair jumping contest in the octagon.

[ms_lane@lemmy.world]

I'd put money on Zuck, he seems like he might be able to jump a chair.

Shitty Person, but possibly good chair jumper. Maybe Zuck will do a Philanthropy run later in life like Bill?

[cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca]

Isn't he no longer in control of MS?

[gloomy@mander.xyz]

Yeah, he was a real asshole 44 years ago. Glad people never change at all.

[ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

80s, 90s, and a few years into early 2000s. Gates ruthlessness lasted decades, destroyed many businesses and lives, and is mostly whitewashed thanks to his philanthropic efforts and a few reddit amas and some secret santa participation

Reminder despite every donation he has made his net worth is higher now than it ever was and this has essentially always been the case. His philanthropy, while objectively good, is a measured pr effort that does not impact his overall obscene wealth and basically never has

[nocturnalengineer@lemmy.world]

Money's great and all, but where exactly would his spending help right now?

Trump's brown-nosing billionaires have trillions between them, let alone foreign governments actively supporting the destabilisation of western world.

The far-right has the market cornered on information & infrastructure control currently. Even Gates' would struggle using his money to influence any meaningful change. It's depressing.

Attacking their fragile egos of Nazis... Now that's free and plentiful.

[tja@programming.dev]

Actually we have a hydra situation here. There would be more billionaires if any of them died.

[tja@programming.dev]

So is every US taxpayer.

[notmyoldredditname@lemmy.world]

What are the rules on offering a reward and legal counsel for someone providing verifiable information about things like how anonymous Twitter employee said happened.

Tbh I don't really believe that report, it's too easy to just write shit up like that anonymously, but I don't doubt there is some shady shit going on that money wouldn't maybe convince someone to leak legit data or knowledge.
