Gates said Musk had canceled grants to a hospital in Gaza Province, Mozambique, that prevents women transmitting HIV to their babies, in the mistaken belief that the US was supplying condoms to Hamas in Gaza in the Middle East. “I’d love for him to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut that money,” he said.

    Gates has pledged to give away all his wealth when he dies, and is trying to get other billionaires to do the same, yet most of the comments here are shitting on him for being a billionaire. Dude is doing what he can to liquidate his assets to help the poor people of the world, but that’s not enough for some of you salty bastards. Fuck him for getting lucky and rich I guess, and for doing more for Polio eradication globally than anyone since Jonas Salk.
