In a recent interview, Bill Gates expressed deep concern over significant cuts to USAID, led by Elon Musk, predicting this will result in more child deaths in impoverished nations. He argued that instead of reducing child mortality, these cuts could cause it to rise from 5 million to 6 million. Musk defended his actions, calling Gates a liar. Simultaneously, Gates announced plans to accelerate his philanthropic efforts, committing to distribute his wealth more rapidly through the Gates Foundation to combat poverty and disease globally.
Gates stated, "Whether Musk might go on to be a great philanthropist remains to be seen. In the meantime, the world's richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world's poorest children."
In discussing the urgent need for aid, Gates emphasized, "There are too many urgent problems to solve for me to hold onto resources that could be used to help people."
Reflecting on his philanthropic commitment, Gates announced he would divest nearly his entire fortune within the next 20 years, aiming to improve lives globally.
Gates criticized the cuts to USAID as potentially increasing childhood deaths, saying, "Cuts would likely lead to an increase of childhood deaths from 5 million to 6 million."
