      If there is still slavery and these countries are largely poor, yet western society relies on them for their labor, natural resources, and goods/exports, his 100 billion dollars means nothing.

      He could’ve spent that 100 billion a whole lot more effectively. Like shining a light on western companies supporting child slavery to harvest cocoa or enabling these countries to break free from western imperialism.

          I’m mad that he’s silent and complicit while people suffer. Perhaps I’ll work on my anger while he hopefully works on finding his voice and speaking the truth.

          He pays regularly for media attention, why can’t he pay to expose western atrocities?

            He’s literally in the headline speaking out and you’re still criticizing him, lol

            It seems like you’re mad just for the sake of being mad.

              He’s acting like Elon Musk is solely responsible. He’s diluting a very large issue (modern slavery) and watering it down to Elon Musk bad.

              Bill Gates is educated and present in these countries. He knows what really is going on.

              Can you blame me for being angry that there is mass suffering, death, and slavery, while everybody in the know acts dumb, and the truth is hidden from the masses?
