Der Spiegel reports: Bill Gates is outraged by billionaires’ influence
This borders on comedy gold: Of all things, Der Spiegel, which pocketed over 5 million euros from the Gates Foundation, is reporting enthusiastically on the statements of Bill Gates, who denounced the influence of billionaires on other countries. Well, with two beams in your own eyes you can't see anything - especially not when looking away pays off admirably.
Der Spiegel claims that Musk supports right-wing extremist politicians in Great Britain and Germany and interferes in politics there. So far, so familiar. Bill Gates also finds this "completely crazy," according to a recent interview by The Times with the pharmaceutical-loving billionaire.
The Times article in question is a real spectacle, as the author seems so in love with Gates that she even brushes aside the Jeffrey Epstein case with the following words: "But having interviewed Gates six times in the last few years, he's a hard billionaire to dislike when he enthusiastically bombards you with numbers and charts." How sweet!
Another particularly informative excerpt from the Times article can be read below:
Gates and Musk belong to different generations, the responsible baby boomer and the Generation X hustler, and their personalities couldn't be more different, even though both want to take over the world. Gates is on a mission to save lives, but Musk also wants to reach space and dominate both spheres. Gates doesn't like the comparison. "I'm ultra-different. It's really insane that he can destabilize the political situation in countries. I think in the US, foreigners are not allowed to donate money; other countries should perhaps have safeguards in place to make sure super-rich foreigners don't taint their elections. It's hard to understand why someone who has a car factory in both China and Germany, whose rocket business is extremely dependent on relations with sovereign states, and who is busy cutting US government spending by $2 trillion and running five companies, is so interested in this 'grooming' story in the UK. I'm like, 'What?'"
The fact that Bill Gates, who elsewhere emphasizes the importance of morality, is irritated when "grooming stories" are given any relevance will probably come as no surprise to any of Report24's readers. But it is telling that this attitude is published in such a casual and light-hearted manner. One might now ask which of the billionaires is more interested in "saving lives" - the one who promoted experimental gene therapy in the fight against a flu-like illness and considers Pakistani gangs that rape children to be negligible, or the one who, alongside all his activities and projects, also finds time to denounce abuses such as life-destroying migrant crime and the ignorance of the authorities. In any case, Gates sees himself as a good person who is portrayed as the Antichrist for wanting to help. It is probably a matter of definition what "helps" and what does not.
The shift to the right endangers Gates' projects
Back to the topic of interference: Gates makes no secret of the fact that the demise of the left's interpretive authority hurts him above all because it harms his goals. "If you think from my perspective of 'let's help the poor countries', there is certainly a lot going on," says Gates - a cute euphemism for "redistribution". He then complains that the Labour government in Great Britain is giving even less money than the Tories. "Our problem is an ageing society, tight budgets and an inward-looking legal policy that hates all foreigners and therefore refuses to help them, even if they are not in their own country. We are in a difficult situation." The taxpayers, who are supposed to generously finance all the aid, are also hurt, by the way, but that doesn't bother Bill Gates.
Der Spiegel doesn't care much about such statements either - interesting, since the rich who take money from the poor are otherwise considered so evil. Today, it is no longer the plundered workers that the left wing is supporting, but those who want to live at the expense of the workers.

However, some readers might have hoped for a little self-criticism, because the portrayal that the clean Bill Gates is also appalled by Elon Musk's influence on the politics of foreign countries seems very simplistic. The medium itself can only provide Musk's statements as evidence - i.e. critical statements, demands on the British government and his connection to the AfD's election campaign launch. Gates is then allowed to speak, saying that foreigners are not allowed to donate money in the USA, and "other countries should perhaps take protective measures to ensure that super-rich foreigners do not distort their elections". (Incidentally, Musk did not donate, he simply shared his views.)
