The craziest thing in this world is that there are more conspiracy theories about Bill Gates being a super villain than Elon Musk.

Talk about the opposite sketches!

If you look into What Bill Gates' attention is focused on (massive landholder, wants the world fed synthetic beef, hopes the next pandemic will be centrally managed and controlled, ownership stakes in media, connected to Epstein), regardless of intent these things have 'scarier' implications than Musk's electric vehicles, rockets and Twitter ownership.

Indeed; Musk just looks like a cartoon villain.

Gates walks the walk.

Gates’ attention is focused on solving problems for people in emerging economies.

What you’ve quoted are the types of batshit crazy conspiracy theories I’m referring to.

What did he quote? He only stated facts.

Which of those are conspiracy theories? Hasn't Gates publicly spoken about all of those things?

The notion that anything Gates has spoken about has scary implications. For example “massive landholder”, so?

Wants the world to be fed synthetic beef. So?

Wants a centrally managed pandemic. So?

Connection to Epstein. Orly?

The answers to my questions above (ie. so what) are the batshit crazy conspiracy theories.

As long as you don't foresee any issue with massive central control of food supply, medical response or synthetic products, sure, there's no implications whatsoever. But handing over that sort of control should never be done 'for free.'

Then there's the obvious question, why is Gates so focused on emerging economies when there are many, many local problems to solve, albeit more expensive and not so easily monetizable...

It seems like there’s a growing distrust of seriousness lately. Caring isn’t cool or whatever.
