Is this the way public policy is done now? Dueling billionaires throwing their money around? Gates can take his billions and shove them you know where.
Wait until you hear about lobbyists and super pacs!
Throwing money around sounds like politics as usual. At least this policy seems to come genuine desire to help.
A lot of billionaires in the past have done great things that have solved problems that government couldn't alone. I don't really see how this is a problem. I don't think Musk, Gates and Bezos are harming society as a whole by making big advancements in rocket tech, vaccines, etc for the benefit of humanity...while also making products that also benefit people across the globe.
