I'm not saying that it's his fault that he's rich but he is certainly adding to the existence of the gap.
That's great and all, but what is he supposed to do at this point? Redistribute his wealth? He's already doing that through his charities lol.
Sitting in a Tesla and complaining that the world is getting polluted because of all those other stinky cars is as dumb and self-centered as it gets.
How is this even remotely close to what he actually said? He was pushing for higher taxes for rich people lol. The ideas he was proposing were completely anti-rich. He wasn't complaining about the gap, he was thinking about solutions on how to reduce it, and it requires
zero adjustments from people riding stinky cars. As for climate change, he does have
his own stance, and it's mostly about spending money on R&D, precisely so poor people (and everyone else really) would have actual
viable (i.e. not anti-poor like everyone should buy Teslas) options to reduce their carbon footprint.
The poor get poorer and the rich get richer in this world. That's the way it is and that's also how Gates made money from money so he can spare us his bullshit.
That's capitalism for you, which Bitcoin ironically enables. The reality is, we all play under the same rules, we just get away with more stuff the more money we get. This is precisely the same situation in Bitcoin where whales are able to throw their weight around -- such is the price for freedom. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
