Bill Gates announced plans to close the Gates Foundation by 2045 while harshly critiquing Elon Musk for his cuts to the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Gates claimed that Musk's actions have jeopardized the lives of impoverished children and led to the expiration of essential medicines. He cited a specific example of a hospital in Mozambique losing funding due to Musk’s misguided beliefs about US aid, linking it to an increase in HIV infections. Gates described Musk's influence on USAID as akin to putting it 'in the wood chipper', raising concerns about the future of international aid under such leadership.
The picture of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one, Gates said, criticizing Musk's funding cuts to USAID.
Gates stated, I'd love for him to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut that money.
In a separate interview, Gates lamented that Musk put USAID in the wood chipper, emphasizing the severe consequences of the funding cuts.
Gates condemned the cuts as life-threatening, noting they have led to medicines expiring and diseases like measles potentially resurging.
