Bill Gates ruined lives as he cheated, lied, and stole his way to the top. I actually do respect a lot of the work he has done in his later years but let’s not forget the monster he was and how his terrible treatment of others created that wealth. They weren’t called the Pirates of Silicon Valley for nothing.

Ultimately that money shouldn’t be in his hands anyway. It should be in the hands of the government, which makes it accountable to us via the representatives we vote in. We as society should dictate where these things go, not a few individuals controlling a disproportionate amount of wealth they did not even earn. He could wake up tomorrow and say “you know what? Trump is right and I think vaccines are bullshit” and there’s nothing we can do about it. Billions of dollars would potentially flood Trump and anti-vaccine movements. All because one person didn’t have his cup of coffee or slept poorly the night before after reading the wrong YouTube comment.

Take a look at how Musk operates. Dude throws tantrums worth millions on the regular. He bought Twitter at least partially out of spite ffs.
