Elon Musk to blame for world’s poorest kids dying, says Bill Gates – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

Elon Musk is behind the deaths of the “world’s poorest children,” blasted rival billionaire Bill Gates on Thursday as he announced plans to wind down his foundation and spend $200 billion on philanthropic efforts by 2045.

Gates said his foundation, which has spent more than $100 billion since he set it up in 2000, would spend close to double that figure on global health, climate and poverty prevention over the next 20 years.

In an interview with The New York Times, Gates attacked Musk, the billionaire adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, for engineering U.S. cuts to aid and development spending in his role leading the Department of Government Efficiency.
