Bill Gates pledged to give an additional $200 billion to charity during the next 20 years- effectively spending down his personal fortune.
Of Elon Musk, Gates said
“The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one,”

We’re awash in corporate and foreign money. We need to change that.
I greatly appreciate your generosity and good intentions but that’s putting it way too mildly Bill.
But it does illustrate how wrong to it is for any one person to have that much wealth because they took it from all of us.
That was in the Golden Age of America about 10 years back, where billionaires had - or pretended to have - some shame about massive wealth inequality because of them.
Good for Gates!
