Well, until Musk buys Wikipedia

gates is a monster who has killed far more people than musk has yet and his PR is somehow more insidious since normal people seem to buy it without necessarily becoming stans - something that seems impossible for musk to achieve especially now

even when an ultra rich entity gives their money away in a way thats not an exercise in extending their political power, which it almost always is see bill gates, they are still unwilling to address the fundamental problem theyve caused which is that they and their cronies are hoarding the worlds resources, in fact they think they deserve to do it and its good, and we should be grateful for whatever they give back however they decide to do it, which is why effective altruism is so silly theyre never actually willing to do the effective thing

I have zero interest in defending Bill Gates the individual, I don't think billionaires should exist, and I recognize some of the inherent problems in large-scale philanthropy as it is often practiced. That said, I find some of the dismissiveness of the Gates Foundation, which employs hundreds of people who are working to improve health, education, and economic outcomes around the world and partners with other organizations to increase its impact, rather annoyingly smug.

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences.
