He basically gave $54BN to the “Gates and Melinda Charity”.

Guess who controls the charity?

Guess if the “Charity” pays taxes?

It’s crazy how fast people simp for billionaires, old evil shitty hated-by-all billionaires too, just because they spend some publicities around.

Does control mean he can use the funds for personal things? Genuine question

No, it doesn’t. And I’d guess that foundation is far more efficient with it’s funds than most, given it doesn’t need to advertise or ask for money.

People here are just desperate to find some reason to hate the guy.

I think that you don’t understand the value of billions of dollars. He can do whatever he wants “for himself” with just $0.1BN. The rest is just a mental hoarding disease IMO.

They love buying companies, patents and so on, just because. Maybe they miss thst rush when they “earned” their first billion or something and, like a junkie, wants to feel it again.

So you don’t think he should give away any money or what?.

I don’t see how that’s an answer to Paul McGann’s the question though.

To be clear, I’m not “simping” for Bill Gates. No one becomes a billionaire ethically and I don’t feel the need to defend him as a person. But I also don’t just read a random comment on a website from some nobody without any evidence backing up their claim spouting any such nonsense they want, so I simply asked you to be more specific with your criticisms.

For what it’s worth, replying to such a request with the kind of hostility you showed doesn’t make me any more likely to take you at your word. You don’t come off as knowing what you’re talking about, so I don’t think you’re going to convince many people. Have a good day.

Lol, “I don’t want to believe you because I don’t like you”.

How grown up!

Have a nice day you too!

That’s not at all what I said. I don’t even know you and have no opinion of you.
