The only bad thing Bill Gates ever did was say that poorer countries needed to pay for Covid vaccines. That was horrible and he backed off.
Almost all his other shenanigans was being a Billionaire stealing from other Billionaires.
People forgot that IBM was a monopoly worse than Microsoft. People forgot that Netscape was a billionaire backed corporation. MS stomped on some little guys too like Stacker. But it was someone who made $100M on a good idea and thought they could milk one idea forever.
To put Bill Gates in the same category as Musk is like saying Biden is the same as Trump.
Gates was the guy nerds were supposed to hate decades ago because Microsoft and billionaire. But that feels fun and innocent compared with today where the billionaires are actively trying to destroy society and ruin people’s lives as opposed to just exploiting them for their labor.
