I have a bit of context. I knew his parents. My mom was friends with his mom. They were not nice people. Everyone around them thought so, but they were all in the same club.
His mom used to worry that he would never amount to anything. Her words. She was scared for him.
But they had money. He went to a school here that existed to breed elites. I partied with those kids. They live on a different planet. They live their entire lives in a world we see in magazines. They know nothing else.
When you hear how he invented DOS with Ballmer (IIRC), in a garage, no they didn't. They were allowed to skip class in their ivy covered school to play on their computer.
He and his teenage buddy built a program. It was the right program for the right time. They even got their picture in the local paper!
Don't ever look up to these people. A smattering of intelligence, and a ton of luck is what they got in the roulette wheel of life.
Yeah, Seattle person here, knowing all about Bill Gates and Lakeside; his dad’s big law firm, etc. Mom led the charge to provide computers (new to schools) for Lakeside and he and I thought Paul Allen having unlimited use of them. Mom was a regent at UW when I attended, graduated and worked there. Dad writing a check so Bill and Paul could get Microsoft off the ground. Yeah, I thought he was giving all his money away too…but what do I know. But Epstein? 🤮
I have always maintained all, ALL of the Tech billionaires are some of the most overrated intellects in human history. I never once heard a single impressive answer by Gates to a breathless interviewer’s query about some supposedly critical deep issue facing humanity. There is an old expression “if you are so smart why aren’t you rich. ?“. My old man’s favourite was “ If you’re so rich how come you’re not smart. ?” Every single edition of windows has been invariably worse than its predecessor. Musk is almost daily revealing his near-idiot brain power. Trump is perhaps the personification of “Bullshit baffles brains. “
Also we need to really get to grips of the role of tech companies AI and billionaires. Their drive to fuel the monster that is AI is driving foreign wars, controlling the us government and decimating the environment. For what? How many precious resources does it take to drive palantir’s checking of all media and assessment of voter data, creating fake videos and deep fake nudes or replacing real jobs????? For what who wants this who gains??????

Very interesting, thank you!

He bought QDOS.
The body language of the women in the photos speaks volumes.

Bill Gates was always a user. He bought other people's ideas and made money of them.
The Epstein class has no class whatsoever

Does he cut his own hair?
Bill Gates is a bully.
I like the new term ‘predator class’
Having massive amounts of money doesn't automatically you a good person or intelligent.
And he owns or has connections to the “seed” banks - so he has the ability to starve the world if he wants. Prick!
I used to think well of him, but no longer
I hope he and Epstein share the same demons in Hell.
Always was!
He’s dangerous. He’s lethal and must be stopped.
He is indeed trash.
