So I just read Bill Gates' 1976 Open Letter To Hobbyists, in which he whines about not making more money from his software. You know, instead of being proud of making software that people wanted to use. And then the bastard went on and made proprietary licences for software the industry standard, holding back innovation and freedom for decades. What a douche canoe.

That is simply not true. I might be that some of it benefits him partly or fully, but saying that nothing of all his projects does anything other than benefit him is something easily falsifiable.

Not saying the charity organization is fake itself.
But Gates doing things 'for charity' is 100% fake.

Tax purposes, etc.

Gets a country to buy a vaccine (this specific one, no other generic cheaper one) and then Gates 'helps' by paying 10%.
Huge profit for his investment in the company that he happened to invest in and coincidentally made that specific vaccine.

Noit to mention he profited from covid and was indirectly responsible for massive deaths
