Summary
Bill Gates criticized Elon Musk for his support of far-right politicians, including the UK’s Tommy Robinson and Germany’s AfD party, calling it “insane shit” and accusing Musk of destabilizing political systems.
Gates questioned Musk’s focus on divisive politics while managing global businesses like Tesla and SpaceX.
Gates also expressed concern about wealthy individuals influencing foreign elections.
Musk has faced backlash for controversial actions, including a Nazi salute.
A lot? He’s currently worth $107 billion. That’s the most he’s ever been worth.
You would think that someone giving away “a lot” of their wealth would be worth less than before. If you’re giving away so little that your wealth is actually growing, I’d say you’re not actually giving away a lot.
Wikipedia says he’s given 50 billion in charity. Enough ? Maybe not. But it certainly is a lot of his wealth.
I thought his net worth went down but it looks like it plateaud. However, according to this article, Bill’s net worth could be much higher but donates a lot of his assets to charities and his foundations. https://moneyweek.com/investments/605912/bill-gates-net-worth
