Kind of surprised that Lemmy fell for it too.
Fell for what? From all publicly available information, Bill Gates is an objectively better person that is putting his money to far better good than Elon and is an example of how billionaires should behave.
Does that mean that he's overall a net "good" person in the grand, karmic, life total sense? Hard to say, given the abuse that Microsoft perpetuated to become Microsoft, probably not, but that doesn't change any of the first part.
I mean, he hasnt been CEO of microsoft since like 2000 and his foundation is one of the biggest donors to WHO, competing with whole countries, I'd say he is pretty good
Quite frankly I agree, but was being more pessimistic to show that the original point stands regardless of how you feel about his time at Microsoft.
