Gates is just as evil as Musk, he is just better at it. Gates played a pivotal role in making sure the vaccine’s stayed under patent. Even when American farma didn’t have the capacity to produce enough and Indian factories had over capacity. The irony is that he did this using his position in the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, that tells you all you need to know about billionaire philanthropy.

Idk who downvoted you, I guess people who think the problem with Musk is that he's cringy or like a cartoon supervillain. No, all billionaires are evil. If you think Gates is a good guy that's because you don't understand what it takes to be a billionaire, what he does with his "charity", or the history of how he's run his business or destroyed antitrust purely because he was embarrassed at how bad he looked under cross examination. He has the charity specifically to launder his image, and as a result he's found ways to be evil using it as cover that he wouldn't have found back in his embrace, extend and extinguish days.
EDIT: Also behind the bastards did episodes on both these absolute jackoffs:
You don't get featured on that show unless you properly suck.
No clue why you're being down voted. Youre right.
Gates chose to patent life saving medicine during a global pandemic.
The consequences of that decision are essentially withholding lifesaving medicine because it makes him more money.
I haven't heard of that. Which vaccine did he patent?
The only thing I remember was him speaking out for not lifting ongoing patents on the vaccines, and then reversed course as criticism grew bigger.
Even before any of the vaccines were finished, there were plans to not grant them any patent protection so they can be produced and distributed as widely as possible. Gates and his foundation lobbied hard against that and instead came up with the bullshit plan to have rich countries buy vaccines for poor countries, which helped no one but the insane profits of the pharma companies. In the case of the vaccine developed with public funding by the Oxford University, Gates actively talked them out of releasing it with an open license, so they sold it to AstraZeneca instead.

That's always been his MO. He literally used to be a eugenicist (likely still is privately) until the backlash from that started threatening his career, and all of a sudden he flip flopped and started pretending that eugenics doesn't even exist let alone him being a vocal part of it.
I've never heard of Gates being a eugenics believer, can you point to some credible evidence for this claim?

Gates at least does something. Yea all rich people charities are tax evasion schemes, but at least he does something. Musk kills turtles and strokes his rocket to it.
Yes, he's working hard on prioritzing profits over people even harder in the medical industry.

Charity just means your special interest gets what would otherwise be tax dollars. There's nothing democratic about charity. It's just churched up oligarchy.
It's worse then that for the very rich. Their "charities" are made up of their friends and family, and the money eventually circles back to them. It's literally tax evasion.
Yeah, like being on Epstein's island.
The only thing Gates does is use his foundation to avoid taxes. He's not any better than other billionaires. The entirety of billionaire philanthropy is a massive lie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH4uh8cHuto

No, he does do stuff. I already said about their charities, and you tell me of like i know nothing. I also know about his boat and planes.
I said that he, unlike all the other rich cunts, does something. Do you see the nuance in my words ? Do i need to both italize and bold it for you ?
So Mr gates is special because... he's your special favorite guy? Because last time I checked almost all billionaires give to charities and foundations. Something is not anything just because you declare it, no matter how hard you emphasize it. There is absolutely nothing unique or special about his giving versus anyone else's. You're really acting like he's the only rich pedo to ever start a 501c3. Gates shills sure out hard today.
Again, all rich ppl charities are money laundering. It has to do with how economics (epecially usa taxes) work. And those charities are useless, even more then carbon offsets.
I never said Gates is the greatest angle to ever grace us, all i said is that he is not a completely heartless cunt of a person like Jeff or Elon.
And it's not about giving charities, it's about the initiatives.
Also go fuck yourself. I can talk shit about Gates for hours. I'm just not an extremist to see only black or white. Cunt.
Here, take some boot juice.
Inside any important philanthropy meeting, you witness heads of state meeting with investment managers and corporate leaders. All are searching for answers with their right hand to problems that others in the room have created with their left.

I'm sorry but Musk's rockets are probably the most environmentally friendly. There was the dust cloud in orbital flight test 1 but it's definitely not as bad as some other launches from other organisations. Rockets fail and that's not a problem if you fail intentionally.
