Interviewer: "Who’s the world’s richest man? Elon Musk. And he’s not giving much away, if anything, to the needs of the world’s poor."

Bill Gates: "Well, he’s the one who cut the U.S.A.I.D. budget. He put it in the wood chipper, because he didn’t go to a party that weekend. ...the world’s richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world’s poorest children."

"Technically he’s still attached to the Giving Pledge, but I haven’t seen evidence that he’s actually committed to it."

And it comes laced with familiar #humanitarian confidence, as #BillGates & his team now believe that their central goals can be achieved in much shorter time. But it is also disconcertingly definitive: The #GatesFoundation will close its doors, permanently, on Dec. 31, 2045, at least several decades before originally intended. In the meantime, it will be spending down its endowment, as well as almost all of Gates’s remaining personal fortune.

Established in 2000 — when Melinda French Gates was just 35 & #BillGates was 44 & the world’s richest man — the #GatesFoundation quickly became one of the most consequential philanthropies the world has ever seen, utterly reshaping the landscape of global #PublicHealth, pouring >$100 billion into causes starved for resources & helping save tens of millions of lives.
