Bill Gates says Elon Musk Is 'Killing World's Poorest Children'

... The picture of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one," the Microsoft founder and billionaire told the Financial Times. ...

Agreed.

And I was, back in the day, a harsh critic of Mr Gates and his monopoly-obsessed Microsoft.

I still am, from time to time, as appropriate.

But, what is Mr Gates doing with all that money he obtained from the early computer users via Windows?

Philanthropic purposes.

...20 years to give away virtually all my wealth

Our mission is to create a world where every person has the opportunity to live a healthy, productive life.

When I first began thinking about how to give away my wealth, I did what I always do when I start a new project: I read a lot of books. I read books about great philanthropists and their foundations to inform my decisions about how exactly to give back. And I read books about global health to help me better understand the problems I wanted to solve.

One of the best things I read was an 1889 essay by Andrew Carnegie called The Gospel of Wealth. It makes the case that the wealthy have a responsibility to return their resources to society, a radical idea at the time that laid the groundwork for philanthropy as we know it today.

In the essay's most famous line, Carnegie argues that "the man who dies thus rich dies disgraced." I have spent a lot of time thinking about that quote lately. People will say a lot of things about me when I die, but I am determined that "he died rich" will not be one of them. There are too many urgent problems to solve for me to hold onto resources that could be used to help people. ...

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has reportedly used Haiti to create a market for cholera vaccine

www.europarl.europa.eu

According to Professor Renaud Piarroux, a world expert on cholera, Bill Gates owns cholera vaccine factories in South Korea. For its part, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation reportedly organised a vaccination campaign in Haiti as the cholera epidemic was coming to an end.

This large-scale trial of the single-dose vaccine, supported by a contribution of EUR 10 million, was organised using bogus publications and modelling without clarifying that cholera had disappeared in Haiti two years earlier. The aim seems to have been to gain support and create a market for the cholera vaccine[1].

In 2018, the Commission announced that it was jointly investing nearly EUR 100 million[2] in health in Africa with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, despite Microsoft laying off 25 000 European workers.
