Elon Musk has responded to Bill Gates’ comments since last week when he said Tesla’s CEO “killing the poorest children”. When it comes to the welfare of children, Musk has questioned the credibility of Gates. Speaking at the Qatar Economic Forum on Tuesday, Musk said: “Bill Gates who thinks that he is to comment about the welfare of children, seeing that he was very close to Jeffrey Epstein?” He said: “I wouldn’t want that man to suppress my child.”

For reference, Jeffrey Epstein was a guilty sexual criminal and financer, who was accused of running a sex trafficking ring involving young girls with a connection of many powerful data. Earlier this year, Gates talked about his relationship with Epstein – although he accepted it only after Epstein died in 2019. “In retrospect, I was a fool to spend at any time with him … I thought I was quite stupid,” Gates said in an interview in an interview. Wall Street Journal.

Musk’s comment about Gates follows a recent interview, where Gates criticized Musk’s role in cutting American foreign aid as the head of the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) under the Trump Administration. Gates has said that budget cuts can lead to millions of deaths, especially in countries, are still struggling with diseases like HIV, measles and polio. Gates said, “The picture of killing the world’s richest man in the world is not very beautiful.”

Musk has often shown pride that he closes a large part of USAID. Allegedly, about 80 percent of the agency’s programs have been abolished. In 2023 alone, USAID has been allocated around $ 44 billion globally for assistance and development efforts.

Meanwhile, Gates has warned that the global assistance in the budget may reverse decades of progress in reducing child mortality. In another interview, he said, “The number of deaths will begin for the first time … millions of more deaths are going to occur due to resources.” He has also argued that private foundations like them can help, they cannot fully create public funds.

Musk first hit back in a post on X, called Gates “a huge false”. On Tuesday, when he paid attention to the claims of Gates, he asked that he doubled. “Yes, I would like him to show us any evidence whatever it is true,” he said.

Gates Foundation plans to increase its annual expenditure by $ 9 billion by 2026, which has finally reached $ 10 billion per year. Gates has predicted that the total expenditure of the foundation can be $ 200 billion by 2045.
