In a surprising clash between billionaires, Bill Gates accused Elon Musk of playing a role in the deaths of children following U.S. government cuts to international aid.
Gates, who has pledged to give away his $200 billion fortune by 2045, warned that Musk’s involvement in reducing USAID funding could result in millions of preventable deaths due to shortages of food, clean water, and medical care.
As a leading philanthropist through the Gates Foundation, Gates stated that Musk’s actions risk “killing the world’s poorest children.” Musk fired back on social media, labeling Gates a “huge liar.”
This feud highlights the deeper conflict between Gates’ philanthropic efforts and Musk’s focus on innovation and free-market solutions.
