Bill Gates pledged on Thursday (May 8) to give away $200 billion (S$260 billion) via his charitable foundation by 2045 and lashed out at Elon Musk, accusing the world's richest man of "killing the world's poorest children" through huge cuts to the US foreign aid budget. The 69-year-old billionaire co-founder of Microsoft said he was speeding up his plans to divest almost all of his fortune and would close the foundation on Dec 31, 2045, years earlier than previously planned. Gates said he believed the money would help achieve several of his goals, such as eradicating diseases like polio and malaria, ending preventable deaths among women and children, and reducing global poverty.
His announcement follows moves by governments, including the Trump administration, to slash international aid budgets used to prevent deadly disease and famine. The US cuts have been overseen by Musk, who has publicly bragged about feeding the US Agency for International Development "into the wood chipper," and his Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). Around 80 per cent of USAID programs are set to be cut; the agency spent $44 billion worldwide in fiscal 2023.
"The picture of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one," Gates told the Financial Times.

He is giving it to his own foundation, where he will retain most of the control over how it is managed and spent...
Why so long? Didn’t Mel give a bunch away to “progressive” causes? No doubt billy will also.
I guess Gates believes that he and Fauci are the only ones allowed to murder children.
“Says Musk is ‘Killing’ World’s Poorest Children”
I’d say Gates vaccination campaign in 3rd world countries is doing that. What a pencil necked POS.
Will he be around in ‘45? I’ll be 98 but I don’t think Gates has my staying power. 😂😂😂👍
The vast majority of that money will go toward left wing causes and left wing NGOs. It will be money laundering hyper speed.
In other words Bill Gates is buying the next President. Or three presidents down the line.(whenever the clock strikes)
Why wait, Bill?
Looks like he’s attempting to soften the consequences of his friendship with Epstein and all that entails.
For every 100.00 of “aid” the US govt hands out, I wonder how many actual dollars actually make it to the “worlds poorest children”. 2?
Jackoff.
Oh that’s rich, Mr “planned parenthood” Gates
“Gates said he believed the money would help achieve several of his goals, such as eradicating diseases like polio and malaria, ending preventable deaths among women and children, and reducing global poverty.”
He wants to eradicate people with diseases and make deaths unpreventable. He sounds like he thinks DOGE isn’t killing fast enough.
Didn’t this pathetic creature kill/maim many through some experimental “vacines” he tried out of children in India? What a criminal. He is only hiding his money from lawsuits.
He’s busy up in Canada aerosolizing vaxxes to crop dust us with. That needs to be stopped yesterday.
I am available, Bill ..
erh ... Mr. Gates
Gates is delusional and financially illiterate to make such absurd statements. Our government does not have any surplus money to give away. None. We are deep in debt.
FU. You spend your money and shut up.
If $30 billion a year in USAID “saves children” then you and you rich billionaire friends pay it. Bezos, Suckerberg, Soros, Buffet, et al.
Pig.
Maybe 5
