Why respectfully? Who has Bill Gates shown actual respect for?
Jeffrey Epstein?
ok good point
Respectfully, Bill Gates is a piece of shit.
Might I add, also disrespectfully.
Respectfully, Bill Gates is complicit in genocide and should be investigated for his connections with Epstein.
Fact Check: List of claims about Bill Gates includes falsities
Not to defend the guy but there are enough real skeletons in his closet. We don't need to spread misinformation.
Respectfuly, if you want to fact check someone atleast say what fact you are checking. Although perhaps I could have been more clear.
For the record, Bill Gates is complicit in the genocide in Gaza
And he has connections with Epstein who on top of the whole child rape side gig was very successful at laundering money to send to Israel.
For the record, Bill Gates is complicit in the genocide in Gaza

For both of these to support your argument, you must be saying that owning stock in a company that benefits from business or weapons that benefit Israel makes the stockholder "complicit in the genocide in Gaza". If you're saying that than probably about 60% of Americans would be "complicit in the genocide in Gaza" as they have stock including index total market funds or S&P 500 funds which have fractions of shares in many of those same companies.
That seems like an overly broad definition to me, but if that is your definition, then your claim is true.

This one just talks about Gates being involved with Israel on climate change actions without any Gates involvement in Gaza. So have to assume your position is that being involved with Israel on issues affecting all of us globally is also an endorsement of genocide. That too, seems like an extreme position.
Please stop with all your critical thinking. /s
Melinda shit canned his ass for good reasons.
Disrespectfully, Bill Gates needs to shut the fuck up
Nah, not respectfully, bill Gates is a piece of shit who has spent millions in charities to pretend he's a nice guy.
I too can pretend to be really nice by slamming millions around even though I have acted like a shit stain before.
Gates does not need to “shut up”. He needs to testify as to what his relationship is with Epstein.
High-school dropout nepo-baby Bill Gates? That one?
The guy that stole IBMs UI setup and made Windows?
Xerox’s
Why the fuck are we going to Bill Gates for his take on climate change? Man… people are desperate to pin shit on whoever they can to manufacture hate.
Dude has given over one hundred billion dollars to charity. He may not be a saint, but I’d be willing to bet that he’s donated far more than the entirety of the population of lemmy has ever given.
Prove me wrong.
Jesus Christ, this guy has actually sipped the koolaid of the philanthropic billionaire. If he actually gave a shit, he would lobby for tax reform.
Not to mention, Bill Gates in particular is just as sketchy as all the other billionaires. He owns more arable land in the US then anyone else, hoarder...
Yawn…. Yeah. Gates is the problem.
That money should never have been his to give
My good you people will whine about anything.
The money he siphoned off society with unethical and illegal business practices? We're supposed to think he's a good guy for giving some of it to his pet projects, from a pool so vast it would be literally impossible to spend on himself?
Stay mad.
No respect needed.
~~Respectfully~~, Bill Gates Needs to Shut Up
Irrespectfully most tech moguls need to shut the fuck up, especially about shit that has nothing to don with tech
Fuck Bill. Let's throw him in the volcano with the other elites
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
Maybe there is hope for a world where being rich doesn't mean you are assumed to be wise and all knowing and should be consulted on everything.
I mean… looking at people like Neil deGrasse Tyson, you don’t need to be super rich for people to give your intelligence too much credit.
