Billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates has said her ex-husband, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, being named in new files relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein dredged up “painful times in my marriage”.
She told an NPR podcast she feels “unbelievable sadness” about the Epstein allegations and that the people named in the records, including her former husband, need to answer to it.
“I am so happy to be away from all the muck,” she said. The couple divorced in 2021 after 27 years of marriage.
Records released by the US justice department include an allegation by Epstein that Bill Gates caught a sexually transmitted disease. He has called the claim “absolutely absurd”.
I remember several years ago some incredibly cringey puff piece video came out about Gates. He must have financed it, in fact. It was aimed at ‘humanizing’ him, and painting him as a genius polymath philanthropist. My family was mad at me for calling out the blatant bullshit. I’m glad everyone is finally getting to see that there are no good billionaires.
kinda saw right through him when he was donating, or having some kind of philantrophy mission in AFRICA, it seems like its a fetish amongst the rich billionaires using africa as a way to “hey look here we are helping these poor people that are poorer than you are”. he also did ama on reddit a while back, they dint allow any “discourse” of potential money laundering being discussed.
He has been doing the reinvention of his image since 2000s, i knew it was bs, because his charitables were laudering money, and reddit was helping him by giving him AMA now and then. he was criticized over his vaccine push into african countries oto.
He started wearing sweaters to look wholesome like Bill Cosby.
Irony runs thick in the non-fictional circus that is reality.
ironic that cosby a sexual predator himself. gates likely knew too, and probably thought if cosby can look “homely and humble” despite him being a SP.
Maybe there are, definitely not those who seek attention (msft tsla amzn etc)
I don’t think it’s possible.
I think it is possible but just not probable.
I’d like to believe that at least.
I don’t think it’s worth the risk.
