In a significant moment for philanthropy, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates declared on Thursday his commitment to donate almost his entire wealth, estimated at $108 billion, by the year 2045. Alongside this announcement, Gates launched a critical assault on Elon Musk, the CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX, alleging that Musk is responsible for “killing the world’s poorest children” due to reductions in US foreign aid that he claims Musk has played a role in. This declaration signifies a major shift in the pace of Gates’ charitable donations and highlights a rare public dispute between two of the most influential billionaires globally.
