Gates does not need to “shut up”. He needs to testify as to what his relationship is with Epstein.

Respectfully, Bill Gates is complicit in genocide and should be investigated for his connections with Epstein.
Fact Check: List of claims about Bill Gates includes falsities
Not to defend the guy but there are enough real skeletons in his closet. We don't need to spread misinformation.
Respectfuly, if you want to fact check someone atleast say what fact you are checking. Although perhaps I could have been more clear.
For the record, Bill Gates is complicit in the genocide in Gaza

And he has connections with Epstein who on top of the whole child rape side gig was very successful at laundering money to send to Israel.

Disrespectfully, Bill Gates needs to shut the fuck up
Nah, not respectfully, bill Gates is a piece of shit who has spent millions in charities to pretend he's a nice guy.
I too can pretend to be really nice by slamming millions around even though I have acted like a shit stain before.
i once tried to question him when he did an AMA like a decade ago, the mods/filters dint allow it though,specifically about him money laundering.

Fuck Bill. Let's throw him in the volcano with the other elites
That's wasteful. Pit them against each other in death matches.
We WILL have the Zuck vs Elon match after all

I LIKE THIS IDEA
Maybe there is hope for a world where being rich doesn't mean you are assumed to be wise and all knowing and should be consulted on everything.
I mean… looking at people like Neil deGrasse Tyson, you don’t need to be super rich for people to give your intelligence too much credit.
He's definitely a very smart man, in his field, but yeah that doesn't translate to having the answers to everything or even having common sense sometimes.

Irrespectfully most tech moguls need to shut the fuck up, especially about shit that has nothing to do with tech
he was always known to be ruthless during his ceo days, his current image is trying to reinvent, and also to soften the blow of him being associated with epstein.

I remember when he did an AMA on Reddit and every comment about his Epstein connection was instantly buried.

~~Respectfully~~, Bill Gates Needs to Shut Up
~~Respectfully~~, Bill Gates Needs to Shut the Fuck Up
Bill Gates is a monopolist whose shady business practices in the 90s and 2000s make him a very evil man.
All billionaires are inherently evil by their own nature. Unless they literally won the lottery with take home $1 billion.
To become a billionaire you have to do some dark Machiavellian deeds whether by exteeme exploitation of human labour or manipulation of the most unethical proportions. A billion in wealth is something quite unimaginable before the 20th century, and the means to obtain that level of wealth in history has always been dark and dirty.

This is libelous. His business practices were also shady in the '70s and '80s.
High-school dropout nepo-baby Bill Gates? That one?
The guy that stole IBMs UI setup and made Windows?

But what about my good billionaire? :( /s
Don't ask whether it's distraction from Epstein list, ask whether everything bad is distraction from climate change and wealth inequality.

Maybe he should stop raping children, aiding genocide and supporting climate deniers instead of treating philanthropy like a pre-reformation nobleman buying indulgences to get into heaven?
He never should have spoken on the first place.
Gates often gets a pass because he gives away a lot of money and "advocates" for a wealth tax. But he's still a billionaire and still hoards more resources and power than any single person could ethically possess.

Might I add, also disrespectfully.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
Respectfully, Bill Gates is a piece of shit.
He should only take advice from Balmer. And to be clear, the cocaine Balmer.

Ladies and gentlemen and others, this is what they call "the good billionaire"!
Forcefully.
Permanently.
Respectfully? Don't care.
That guy that told me to sell my GameStop shares and that investing in that company is gambling? Yeah just shut the fuck up already!
He can blather as mich as he wants, stop giving the douche air time or column inches ffs.
~~Donny~~ Billy, you’re out of your element!
Bill Gates now openly towing the WEF propaganda line which KurzGesagt produced for him earlier. This is so expected.
