In the conversation, Gates also directly held Elon Musk for the drastic cut, ensuring that the idea of putting everything in the crusher “simply occurred” because it did not go to a party that weekend. “
He also criticized the ambiguity of Musk’s commitment to Giving Pull, a philanthropic alliance among the richest men in the world, highlighting that he allows him to donate only when he died.
“It could become a great philanthropist … but in the meantime, the richest man in the world has been involved in the death of the poorest children in the world”Microsoft’s co-founder said about Musk.
In that scenario, Gates stressed that He plans to donate all his fortune through the Gates Foundation in the next 20 yearsfor it that its assets will have decreased by 99% at the end of the year 2045.
