Bill Gates Wants to Die Poor

Pledges to "virtually" give away all his wealth - again.

Remember Bill Gates?

He was all over the news in the past few years, “shaping” the narratives around COVID-19, vaccines, climate change, technology, agriculture, and food.

But lately, poor Bill has had a rough time.

What happened?

Big Don and “Everywhere-Musk” happened.

Good luck getting any airtime with those two hogging the limelight.

It’s not like Bill wasn’t trying.

He tried to put his globalist stamp on Big Don right from the start:

Bill Gates Gives Trump The Globalist Health Marching Orders Three Days Before His Inauguration

BIG Don pretended to listen and said nothing but put his little DODGE terrier Elon in charge to hurt Bill where it hurts Bill the most: cutting down the WHO and USAID taxpayer money tap that finances Bill’s many pet projects.

But Bill is back.

Exasperated Elon has left the big, beautiful DODGE and fallen out with BIG DON.

Bill immediately weaseled himself into an appointment with Marc Rubio, pleading to open that tap again.

Bill Gates paid a secret visit to the White House on Friday to personally plead with Secretary of State Marco Rubio to reverse cuts to foreign aid […]

A tap was indeed opened, but not the one Bill wanted. It filled a bucket with ice-cold water and was poured over Bill’s head.

The state department confirmed:

“He [Rubio] does not believe US taxpayers should be burdened with covering the costs for progressive projects abroad, including funding contraceptives, electric buses, and DEI.”

Electric Buses in Africa? You can just see how that plays out.

Bill can’t get poor fast enough, no matter how hard he tries

Bill hasn’t achieved his biggest goal yet, and he can’t rest until it is done.

Bill’s biggest problem is getting rid of all his money.

In 2010, 15 years ago, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett founded “The Giving Pledge”

So, how did that go for Bill?

Despite trying so hard, Bill

has consistently been one of the five richest people on the planet. Source

He just can’t do it.

And neither can his trust.

Instead of giving away more to fulfill Bill’s dying wishes of poverty, they somehow dilettantishly managed to do the opposite. They almost tripled the fund in two short years, from about 17 billion in Jul-2022 to 48 billion in Jul-2024.

But do not despair.

Bill is not giving up. He wants to be poor so badly that he set himself a new deadline a month ago.

“Sorry, I need another 20 years to do it,” he apologised to his biggest admirers, who still wait for the promised food, decent housing, and basic health care.

“But I brought some nice new vaccines for all of you, especially for the girls.”

Photos like that give the impression that Bill Gates has a hands-on approach to directly alleviating the suffering of the poorest on the ground.

The truth is that only a tiny fraction of the budget of his foundation, based on the annual reports, goes to what these people need most: Food, proper housing, clean water, energy, transport, infrastructure, and basic health care. Instead, Gates, through the WHO, gave them this:

If you are into depopulating the world, you want to do it effectively, right at the source. And also altruistically, pretending you spend your own money on it.

And born is “Effective Altruism (EA),” the ideological mothership of a lot of very weird so-called “philanthropic” projects over the past ten years.

Bill is one of a handful of nerdy half-autistic tech billionaires, also including Elon Musk, who love EA.

EA must be like a converting religion because previously, Bill preached this:

His wanting to die poor now—wouldn’t that be a mistake?

I am confused about Bill’s philosophical acrobatics.

But this time around, Bill means business in getting rid of his money.

“Virtually” giving it away, to be precise.

Virtually means “almost but not quite; nearly.”

So what does that mean?

Will he keep a few million or maybe a lousy billion on the side for hard times?

After all, he isn’t getting any younger. He might need a walker and some dentures, and some nappies at one stage, being poor and all.

I guess we will find out in 2045.

Bill’s Giving Philosophy

We ordinary people have no idea how hard it is to just “give” when you are super-rich.

When Bill decided 25 years ago that he wanted to give away all his wealth, he didn’t just buy the poorest and most suffering people in America and around the world what they needed most. Like food and decent housing, and basic health care, for example.

That would be way too simple and unscientific for the nerdy man.

No, instead, he read books.

When I first began thinking about how to give away my wealth, I did what I always do when I start a new project: I read a lot of books. I read books about great philanthropists and their foundations to inform my decisions about how exactly to give back. And I read books about global health to help me better understand the problems I wanted to solve.

There was nothing to solve, Bill.

I was in Africa and talked to the people. The poorest people didn’t want you to solve anything. They just want some essential things we take for granted.

It’s not complicated, Bill.

So was Bill Gates

I wonder what he talks about with the people in the photo shoots.

I wonder if he ever asked them, “What do you want more?” A tetanus vaccine that sterilizes your woman or food, and decent housing and basic health care?

He also learned from his books that he doesn’t want to die rich.

In the essay’s most famous line, Carnegie argues that “the man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.” I have spent a lot of time thinking about that quote lately. People will say a lot of things about me when I die, but I am determined that "he died rich" will not be one of them.

Well, he better hope he doesn’t die anytime soon. At his snail-paced speed of getting poor, he probably has to live to 300 to achieve it.

I only wish Bill had never read those global health books and started this love affair with vaccines.

If you think we saw the worst of it during the COVID-19 fiasco, you are very mistaken.

Bill doesn’t learn and retreat. He doubles down. Literally.

During the first 25 years of the Gates Foundation—powered in part by the generosity of Warren Buffett—we gave away more than $100 billion. Over the next two decades, we will double our giving. The exact amount will depend on the markets and inflation, but I expect the foundation will spend more than $200 billion between now and 2045.

Despite his immense struggle to get rid of his money, he still wants our money to help him give.

Our plans are ambitious. And although I am hopeful we will achieve them, I cannot ignore a simple truth: None of this progress is possible without partnership from governments.

Meaning us and our taxes, of course. Those who pay for all those “government partnership programs” with Bill Gates.

That explains how the foundation, over the past 25 years, spent 100 billion and still sits on 42 billion in 2024.

According to AI, Bill Gates has personally donated about 50 Billion to his foundation since 2000.

No matter how hard he tried, only 8 billion of his 50 billion was spent. 42 billion is still there. And the foundation is very skillful in reaping great investment profits, knowing exactly where and when to invest.

Bill must go to bed petrified every night.

“What if I die suddenly and in great wealth and shame?”

But Bill is determined to do better.

He has a plan.

Strangely, the new plan is just doing more of the old plan, vaccines mostly, but spending 200 billion instead of 100 billion.

More vaccine madness.

God help us all.

And I hope God helps Bill to get poor quickly.

Unless this new announcement is about something else entirely.

Could this be just another PR campaign to make Bill look really good?

Could this all be about dangling a 200 billion juicy carrot in front of all those agencies, dubious NGOs, and private companies that created this myth of “Philanthropist Bill,” the savior of the world?

Bill Gates's influence and reputation suffered greatly because of the Covid disaster. He has been pushed out of the limelight. Musk is replacing him. Trump is ignoring and hurting him.

Progress depends on so many people around the globe: Brilliant scientists who discover new breakthroughs. Private companies that step up to develop life-saving tools and medicines. Other philanthropists whose generosity fuels progress. Healthcare workers who make sure innovations get to the people who need them. Governments, nonprofits, and multilateral organizations that build new systems to bring solutions to scale. Each part plays an essential role in driving the world forward, and it is an honor to support their efforts.

“It’s an honor to support their efforts.”

Translation: I have 200 billion to spend.

You get some of it if you make me look good in the public's eye again, and we continue together with the same scams disguised as “global development” and “global health” that we all profit from.

And I can continue my eugenic depopulation projects under the disguise of helping people as long as you all back me up.

Money talks.

Deal?

And this is also a message to Musk and others who want more of Bill’s limelight and global influence.

Especially Musk:

Gates was incensed by the DOGE cuts, accusing Musk of “killing the world’s poorest children.” Musk hit back last month, lashing out at Gates over his past ties to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“Who does Bill Gates think he is to make comments about the welfare of children given that he frequented Jeffrey Epstein?” Musk said during an interview on Tuesday at the Bloomberg Qatar Economic Forum.

“I wouldn’t trust that guy to baby-sit my kids, I can tell you that.”

The knives are out, and promising 200 billion buys a lot of PR support in the reputational game.

Especially now. Musk has lost his big protective sugar daddy and has lost his cool lately. He seems vulnerable.

Bill goes for the kill.

I love it.

Let the big egos tear each other to pieces and expose their true character.

Thank you for reading.

After trying paywalls on two posts for the first time, I decided against them again.

While I got three new paid subscribers, it cut off comments, likes, shares, and restacks dramatically.

I am sure they create great income for prominent writers with tens of thousands of followers they brought in from other platforms and through public fame, but for small writers they don’t work.

I want to thank all of the recent new paid subscribers.

It motivates me greatly to write more.

Thank you so much.
