The most whitewashed billionaire in existence. Insane people still buy into this slush fund campaign.

Bill Gates is more evil than Elon Musk.

How so? Specifically?

Cause Musk is actively trying to destroy democracy and kill poor people.

Also different user. His life's work had been to create the most evil corporation the world has ever seen. The largest monopoly. It's still allowed to run and controls entire governments all around the world. Most companies, schools and government functions of many countries are completely tied to Microsoft cloud and their software and have no choice. This has essentially halted all technical progress and research on many fields because the results can't be productised. The loss and corruption is endless.

It's been going on and ramping up for over forty years. It's still going on.

Forty years is a good "why" for why musk is nothing compared to this evil.

Different user: I don't think it's worth arguing about which is "more evil", especially at this billionaire level of antisocial behavior. What's the point? They're both intolerable, causing death for profit.

The sad thing is that even if he gives away 99% of his wealth he will still be obscenely rich. Multitudes richer than the average man.

Why not hate on the billionaires who aren't giving away billions of dollars?

He should open low cost private schools and libraries. We’re going to need them.

Sure, I'll do it after I'm dead.

Or maybe not. Guess you'll have to outlive him to find out if he's just a scummy billionaire like the rest.

Someone's public relations department is working overtime so Billy boy doesn't get eaten.
