    Gates has definitely done some questionable things, but id argue he’s not quite as unlikeable as the others. He’s done a lot of charity work, he doesn’t seem to be actively trying to tarnish his reputation unlike folks such as Musk and Zuckerberg, and he doesn’t (at least publicly) waste his fortune on stupid shit like Spaceships and Twitter.

    He’s definitely been in some sketchy situations, but, at least in my opinion, I don’t feel he’s quite comparable to the others mentioned (though they should all be held to the same standard)

      The fact that you’re defending this billionaire shows you how good Bill Gates PR is when it comes to deflecting from his obvious, monstrous behavior and actions.

      P.s. he’s a pedo

      Totally understandable and fair take. I’m just not a fan of that kind of wealth in my opinion and wish they used their wealth more. By this I mean not being charitable in order to get a tax break.
