- Bill Gates is sounding the alarm on political polarization in the US.
- "Political polarization may bring it all to an end, we're going to have a hung election and a civil war," he told Forbes recently.
- Gates, who has been the target of many conspiracy theories over the years, also pointed out the dangers of misinformation.
Bill Gates usually focuses on issues like poverty and infectious diseases through his charitable foundation, but another problem on his mind is the polarization of US politics.
"I admit that political polarization may bring it all to an end, we're going to have a hung election and a civil war," he recently said in the keynote conversation at this year's Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy. "I have no expertise in that. I'm not going to divert my money to that because I wouldn't know how to spend it."
Political polarization, he says, goes hand-in-hand with another issue: the spread of misinformation.
"The polarization and lack of trust is a problem," he continued to Forbes. "One of the best-selling books last year was a book by Robert Kennedy, saying that I like to make money and kill millions of people with vaccines. It's wild that sells well."
Over the years, Gates and ex-wife Melinda French Gates have donated billions to vaccine research, development, and delivery through their foundation. Gates has been the subject of conspiracy theories that claim he puts microchips in vaccines to track people. Earlier this month, Gates said people have yelled such accusations at him on the street.

Political polarization, he says, goes hand-in-hand with another issue: the spread of misinformation.
This sure sounds like someone who is going to get pasted in Nov.
I still remember him feeding moldy goo to Anderson Cooper.
Won’t be a civil war. We have no fight in us. If we were going to fight, we would have fought when the election was stolen during the Coup of 2020. They not only stole the election. They rubbed our noses in it.
With all of the evil this asshole has perpetrated, why is he still alive??
I will be happy when Bill is worm food. He might even be as well.
I suspect there is an age disparity that doesn’t favor us.
It actually sounds about right.
How do we go about having a ‘hung election’ though? What does that even mean?
Says one of the political polarizers...
Uh-huh. Problem is polarization only occurs (to Dems) when conservatives challenge them.
the POS on the right looks eastern european...
Is that somebody’s bodyguard/security?
Yeah Bill, and we’re coming to take all your shit.
