You were better before you followed that guyaside from the usual ad hominem, Gates is just as useless as every other tech bazillionaire. Paul Allen on one end, Sean Parker on the other, top of the curve occupied by a bunch of cis white guys who invented nothing and have solved exactly shit but still get to ramble at Davos every year like we’re supposed to give bushels of fucks
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 16 November 2017 04:27 (eight years ago)
Very tip tippity top of that curve is of course Thiel, the useless Lex Luthor to Gates’ useless Reed Richards. Steve Jobs is the useless Hank Pym. I think.

Oh Bill...
we can't just trust them to be nice people. Gates effectively took over the US Dept of education and is the most powerful person in Africa policymaking but is accountable to no one. He was elected by no one. His qualification is...he's extremely rich. It's Davos vigilantism.— Adam H. Johnson (@adamjohnsonNYC) September 8, 2019

Eh, I’d say it’s working out pretty well for him. The average person would identify him and Buffett as the good billionaires. Not a bad recovery given his reputation in the ‘90s.

bill gates was a utterly ruthless competitor in the early days of personal computing, squashing any and all smaller companies that he could, or absorbing the ones he couldn't, stealing the ideas of others left and right, often using illegal anti-competitive and monopolistic strategies because he knew that his legal teams could keep the issue in the courts so long that it didn't matter if he eventually lost, because he'd amassed so much power he'd won the bigger contest.
more creative and more idealistic companies were driven off the field, leaving gates as the richest man in the world and the emperor of personal and business computing for more than a decade. he was not a benevolent emperor. he crushed opposition.
but all that corona virus shit is just the usual conspiracist paranoia.

After Jeffrey Epstein plead guilty to soliciting a minor for sex... after the Gates Foundation gave a brothel-raiding anti-trafficking group $5M... the foundation was in talks with Epstein about a joint philanthropic venture.
