Bill Gates ratcheted up his feud with Elon Musk on Thursday, saying the former DOGE head was “killing” children through USAID cuts.

Driving the news: Gates vowed to give away “virtually all” of his wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next two decades, he announced Thursday.

Gates’ “key aspirations” to guide the foundation’s funding over the next two decades center on promoting child and maternal health and fighting infectious diseases and poverty.

Those target areas overlap with the USAID programs from which Musk and the Trump administration cut billions.

    Bill Gates was friends with Jeffrey Epstein after he was convicted for child exploitation. He really cares about children.

      I mean, he’s ok with the genocide in Gaza. So apparently he doesn’t care about children he can’t touch

    Bill Gates is a selfish idiot and the only reason he cares about what Elon Musk is doing is it undermines the public facade of billionaires.

    Cody Johnston is the right person to explain this.

    edit, didn’t mean to imply Elon Musk was anything other than a hateful piece of shit, my point is that people like Bill Gates are getting nervous Elon isn’t hiding it better.

      I doubt it’s only a feud based on optics. I think it’s likely bourgeois factionalism

      Pretty sure his foundation received a significant amount of money from the gov that has been cut off with all these cuts, I think he’s just mourning his infinite money cheat code being turned off.
