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.

isnt thats why hes doing "charities" for africans, to reinvent his image because of that, the timing is more than a coincidence, although start way before epstein got on the news, but he probably knew he would be connected to him in the media sooner or later.

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.
he also, has a list of women accusing him of sexual misconduct, none of the incidence could be proven, but they were 4 separate women in very different locations. He's charming on talk shows. No actual scientists get invited on talk shows.
I mean, Carl Sagan, but yeah not really much currently. I feel like due to streaming everything has been kind of put in it's own little box, everyone can have their own show and no one needs to interact with people different than them.
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
High-school dropout nepo-baby Bill Gates? That one?
The guy that stole IBMs UI setup and made Windows?
Xerox’s
TBF, he dropped out of Harvard.
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.
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.

Might I add, also disrespectfully.
No respect needed.
Forcefully.
Permanently.
Respectfully? Don't care.
~~Donny~~ Billy, you’re out of your element!
Ladies and gentlemen and others, this is what they call "the good billionaire"!
I wish someone could just start removing problems for us.
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.
No, media needs to stop listening to him because he had one good idea 40 years ago. USA needs to get over their cults of tech bros.
He should only take advice from Balmer. And to be clear, the cocaine Balmer.

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.
He is getting old and confused, obviously.
