Bill Gates Lectures Elon Musk On Spending Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates believes the SpaceX CEO’s self-declared mission to save humanity from extinction by colonizing Mars is not a good use of Elon Musk's fortune, which would be better spent on goals like mass vaccination to save people’s lives back on Earth. Gates said he does not consider Musk a genuine philanthropist. At the same time, an interview with the BBC released on Friday acknowledged that some of his endeavors, like the electric vehicle company Tesla, “are having a positive impact.” “I think someday he will join the ranks of philanthropists using his ingenuity,” Gates added, because “at the end of the day,” he can’t possibly spend all of his money on himself, “other than going to Mars a few times, which might cost a little bit.” Subscribe to RT
