I almost miss the type of asshole he represents, though. Comparatively to Bezos and Musk, Gates’ brand of evil is almost refreshingly honest and straightforward…

thats why people said he is not genuine as he looks when donating to africa, hes just hiding behind the guise of charity to reinvent his image.
