'This Is Insane S**t': Bill Gates Puts Elon Musk On Blast In Blunt Interview
HuffPost
The Microsoft co-founder didn't hold back on his fellow billionaire.
Bill Gates criticized fellow tech billionaire Elon Musk for promoting far-right politics not just in the United States, but around the world ― and urged other nations to take action to limit the influence of outsiders such as Musk.
“It’s really insane that he can destabilize the political situations in countries,” Gates told the The Times of London. “I think in the US foreigners aren’t allowed to give money; other countries maybe should adopt safeguards to make sure super-rich foreigners aren’t distorting their elections.”
Musk, who became part of President Donald Trump’s inner circle while spending more than $250 million on his campaign, has since spoken out in other countries. He’s attacked British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his center-left Labour Party while dishing out advice to that nation’s right-wing Reform UK party, which he urged to drop leader Nigel Farage.
In addition, Musk spoke remotely to Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party over the weekend, urging them to “take pride in Germany” and not feel guilty for the actions of parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.
