Bill Gates calls out Musk

Anonymous
Umm, then why doesn't Bill use his very large fortune to replace that funding?

Sounds like Bill also doesn't care about those kids.

He is donating the rest of his fortune to his foundation which he established quite some time ago and has already donated vast sums of money. One of the major focuses of his foundation is on world health. He is trying to eliminate two diseases. He also announced that he doesn’t want the foundation to go on in perpetuity, so they will be spending more with the intent to spend down the money over the next 20 years.

Gates founded and significantly funded his foundation when he was 39. At 53, Elon is way behind the eight ball.

It’s the truth. Gates just wants power. If he didn’t care about his riches he’d give it all away, now. He needs to go away. Btw his ex wife is doing his pathetic ass no favors. Good buddies with Epstein, nice guy you defend. Says a lot about you.

It’s going to break your heart when you realize Trump was also good buddies with Epstein for many years and there are many pictures of them together.

???

I think they’re pretending they’re have/going to release Epstein documents. If they exist they’ll never release them. Like kash Patel swore up and down he would day 1 and now they just keep teasing releasing them or release stuff that has the same or inaccurate information. Then they release something like “Cameron Diaz associated with Epstein!” And when you look at the source material it’s something stupid like Epstein claimed to have dated her without any proof.

Bill Gates accuses Elon Musk of "killing" children with USAID cuts: "I'd love for him to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut that money.”

Remember , Gates and his minions deceived the Bush administration into creating the monster known as Optional Practical Training (OPT) job replacement program. He is no better than Musk who will "die" for H1B. Both dedicated to replace US citizens with cheaper labor to make themselves richer while exploiting workers.

The troubling fact is that the OPT program was created entirely through regulation with no authorization from Congress whatsoever. It has been going on for so long, that many people assume that Congress authorized OPT when in fact, Congress has explicitly changed the law to prohibit it.

Here is a history of how OPT came about. In reading this history, keep in mind that the regulations described here employ the euphemism "practical training" to refer to work.

In 2007, Microsoft concocted a scheme to use OPT as a means to circumvent the H-1B quotas. Microsoft's plan was to extend the duration of OPT from a year to 29-months, so that the duration would be sufficient to serve as a guestworker program, rather than just an internship-type program. Microsoft proposed this scheme to the Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff at a dinner party at the home of the owner of the Washington Nationals baseball team. (See pp. 229-230 in the book Sold Out, co-authored with Michelle Malkin.) From there, DHS worked in absolute secrecy with industry lobbyists to craft regulations implementing Microsoft's plan.

In a classic example of Washington cronyism, the first notice that DHS was even considering such regulations came when they were promulgated as a fait accompli, without notice and comment, on April 8, 2008 (73 Fed. Reg. 18,944). These regulations made three major expansions to OPT. First, they allowed aliens to remain in student visa status while they were unemployed so they could look for work. Second, they allowed aliens working under OPT to remain in student visa status from the time an H-1B petition was filed on their behalf until a final decision was made on the petition or the start date. This adds a maximum of 6 months to the OPT duration. Finally, they authorized a 17-month work period for aliens with degrees in fields DHS designates at Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics (STEM). This gave a maximum OPT duration of 35 months.

The OPT program has been the subject of continuous litigation since then where, after nearly a decade, the federal courts have been unable to come to a decision on whether it is lawful. However in 2015, the D.C. District Court held that the 2008 OPT regulations had been promulgated unlawfully without notice and comment. In response to this opinion, DHS promulgated new regulations that did the same as the old regulations except that they expanded the STEM work period from 17 months to 24 months, giving a maximum OPT work period of 42 months (24+12+6).

OPT is an example of the administrative state run amok. Instead of law coming from Congress, we have law coming from bureaucrats working hand-in-hand with lobbyists. OPT also illustrates the slippery-slope problem of regulation. Work on student visas started innocently as an integral part of a course of study to give foreign students an experience not available in their home country, but eventually was transformed into a full-blown guestworker program whose stated purpose is to provide labor to American business.

Employers don't have to pay payroll taxes on OPT employees, making them 15.3% cheaper to hire.  The FICA fund loses out on $2.5 billion each year due to this.
OPT visas are not merit-based and have no restrictions or limitations.

Fewer than 50% of U.S. STEM graduates are finding jobs in STEM fields, which is a direct result of the OPT program. The OPT program is harming American STEM grads by giving companies a financial incentive to hire temporary foreign workers, even though the government is actively encouraging American students to study for STEM degrees.


Thanks for pointing this program out. I was not aware of it.

We can't have nice things in this country. We tear it down.

Are you truly dim? Bill Gates has committed his billions to the Gates Foundation which has public health as a core part of its mission. And those billions won't live earning interest in an endowment-it will be spent down in the next 20 years. But as big and important as the Gates Foundation is, it's not enough to replace the billions from the US Government that were committed for USAID. Elon Musk and DOGE do indeed have blood on their hands for killing innocent children with the unprofessional way they shut down USAID humanitarian aid overnight, which did not give any chance for governments and donors to try to replace that aid in a way that didn't leave babies starving to death.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/world/africa/sudan-usaid-famine.html
The children died one after the other. Twelve acutely malnourished infants living in one corner of Sudan’s war-ravaged capital, Khartoum.

Abdo, an 18-month-old boy, had been rushed to a clinic by his mother as he was dying. His ribs protruded from his withered body. The next day, a doctor laid him out on a blanket with a teddy bear motif, his eyes closed.

Like the other 11 children, Abdo starved to death in the weeks after President Trump froze all U.S. foreign assistance, said local aid workers and a doctor. American-funded soup kitchens in Sudan, including the one near Abdo’s house, had been the only lifelines for tens of thousands of people besieged by fighting.

Bombs were falling. Gunfire was everywhere. Then, as the American money dried up, hundreds of soup kitchens closed in a matter of days.

“It was catastrophic,” said Duaa Tariq, an aid worker.

Bill Gates is absolutely right. I would say that I don't know how Elon Musk could live with that on his conscience, but he doesn't seem to have much care for the human race, so there's that.

He's giving away 98% of his wealth and leaving 2% for his 3 kids presumably.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/bill-gates-calls-doge-geographically-142100126.html
"He's the one who cut the USAID budget. He put it in the wood chipper, because he didn't go to a party that weekend," Gates told the Times of Musk. "The world's richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world's poorest children."

Gates also referred to an instance early in President Donald Trump's term in which administration officials said that the US had been sending condoms to Gaza via foreign aid. In reality, the US had been providing contraceptives to a province in the African country of Mozambique.

"They cut the money to Gaza Province in Mozambique. That is really for drugs, so mothers don't give their babies HIV," Gates said. "But the people doing the cutting are so geographically illiterate, they think it's Gaza and condoms. Will they go meet those babies who got HIV because that money was cut? Probably not."

Gates made the remarks as he discussed his plans to give away the remainder of his wealth over the next 20 years before closing his foundation in 2045.

It’s the truth. Gates just wants power. If he didn’t care about his riches he’d give it all away, now. He needs to go away. Btw his ex wife is doing his pathetic ass no favors. Good buddies with Epstein, nice guy you defend. Says a lot about you.

Have you given all your money away and currently live on the streets wearing sheepskin cloths. Or do you not care for others in need
