Bill Gates is one of those secret elite Epstein list pedophile Zuckerberg-lizard people ruining and draining the planet. Gates wife divorced him for his Epstein escapades.

Running a big pharma company disguised as a charity and using his money to influence the WHO and WEF.

Elon Musk is a neo Nazi idiot who is too stupid to keep their schemes going and canceled USAID.

In terms of human casualties Elon is a lot lower than Gates. Because Bill Gates is competently evil.

Lol, the idea that a billionaire liked to go to his friend's party Island and fuck prostitutes automatically means he's also part of an intentionally world ending cabal is flat out tin foil hat level conspiracy theory.

Occams razor would suggest that Epstein was popular because people like to fuck, not because he was an evil mastermind.

The parent is being a bit hyperbolic, which isn't useful, but that's not Alex Jones-level tinfoil hattery, even if it appears similar at first glance. Of course you're right that he was an Epstein bud because he liked to fuck the classmates he couldn't in school. At the same time it's also true and provable that uncle Bill spends his money lobbying various domestic and international organizations to further his and by proxy the owner class'es interest. I distinctly remember for example good uncle Bill lobbying the US government and the WHO against IP sharing at the height of the COVID crisis:

Global health czar Bill Gates had other thoughts. Maintaining his steadfast commitment to intellectual property rights, Gates pushed for a plan that would permit companies to hold exclusive rights to lifesaving medicines, no matter how much they benefited from public funding. Given the enormous influence Gates has in the global public health world, his vision ultimately won out in the Covax program—which enshrines monopoly patent rights and relies on the charitable whims of rich countries and pharmaceutical giants to provide vaccines to most of the world. A chorus of support from pharmaceutical companies and the Trump administration didn’t hurt.

PS: Being an Epstein bud could help if you want to lobby big names with words and capital. People pay good money to sit at the table and talk to some big shots at various places.

It's provable that he seems to do it to further his own interests, but it's also entirely possible (if I personally think unlikely), that he lobbied for that path because he thought it was the more practical path that was more likely to succeed or gain traction for whatever reason.

Or he may have done it because he has a vested interested in maintaining IP law, or maybe he has friends who do who convinced him it was important, and he did it because he wanted to please his friends.

Or maybe he did it because he was really conniving and constantly thinking specifically about class principles and how to fuck the lower classes. But I suspect the reality is simpler.
