Melinda French Gates has made a glaring dig at Donald Trump's tech billionaire friends for not staying true to their values.
The billionaire philanthropist and businesswoman, 60, voiced her concern over Silicon Valley's political shift to the right and argued that many leading figures are only 'pivoting' because of public relations and image.
It comes after tech giants, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, and Apple CEO Tim Cook were all front and center at Trump's inauguration in January, and after her ex-husband, Bill Gates, sat down with the president at the White House to discuss his philanthropic efforts.
Speaking on the latest episode of Bloomberg's The Circuit podcast, Melinda said: 'What I have seen in the last six months to a year is, many people who used to say one thing have absolutely shifted over here [gesturing to the right].'
'A democracy is made up by our beliefs and our investments and our values.
'We, of all times right now, should be living those values out, not pivoting to what some comms person tells us is the right thing to do. That would be ridiculous.'
Melinda went on to add that the world will one day look unfavorably at those companies who removed their DEI initiatives because of Trump's executive order.
'You have to look at society,' she continued.
'Who's in our society right now and does our democracy, do our state legislatures and does our Senate or our Congress look like society? The answer is no.
'The reason you need to have of all society representative in the legislature in any governing body is because they make good policy based on their lived experience.'
Melinda has slammed Trump in the past, having condemned the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic.

She was a bed warmer for a tech titan, got a big settlement in a divorce. Why are we being treated to these assaholic lectures from her?
Yet another woketard who is a legend in their own mind.
I’d suggest the problem is Big Tech titans being all too true to their values...
Gonna take on big bite out of that Apple.
“Yet another woketard who is a legend in their own mind”
Scary looking in a tranny kind of way to boot.
Melinda gates is just virtue signaling. whenever I hear anyone in the public eye refer to how history will view an action taken or to there legacy I notice that they are not referring to doing right they are referring to the perceptions of others on what they have done.
Melinda Gates hypocritical values are for population control for others but not for herself and her husband. They’re entitled to have three children.
NOT worried about what the ex-wives feel ... about anything other than alimony and what non profits will kiss their butts for cash...
Dingbat. Maybe they are shifting to the right after seeing just how nutty and evil the left is.
I don’t think that they work that way.
They follow the power.
We are up for a reckoning.
The peoples who think the issue is ideology
versus
The peoples who think the issue is to pillage and plunder.
The pillage and plunderers will always win.
Melinda can go dildo herself.
She’s a vicious, vindictive Jezabel!
You said that with much more class than I would have.
EC
Lol… I see you’re the classy type also!
There’s no righteousness like self righteousness.
“Melinda French Gates has made a glaring dig at Donald Trump’s tech billionaire friends for not staying true to their values.”
Their values are measured by the billion$.
“you need to have of all society representative in the legislature”
We don’t need the stupid idiots who assaulted federal law enforcement personnel.
We don’t need the stupid idiots who failed to introduce themselves to government officials and government security personnel.
“make good policy based on their lived experience”
Good policy is made by broad knowledge, prolonged deep thought and debate.
Thieving is not good policy.
Mooching isn’t good policy.
Racism isn’t good policy.
Importing second-rate, third-rate and criminal foreigners isn’t good policy.
Importing foreigners who can’t get along with people that look nearly identical to themselves isn’t good policy.
Importing foreigners who hate isn’t good policy.
Nothing more impressive than a philanthropist businesswoman who made her money by (check notes) divorcing her husband. Very feminist.
