Bill Gates has launched a direct attack on Elon Musk, accusing him of making cuts that will lead to the deaths of vulnerable children. His warning highlights the danger of unchecked billionaire power in global aid decisions.
KEY POINTS
- USAID Programs Slashed by 90%: Musk’s DOGE office dismantled key health services, including vaccines and HIV prevention.
- Critical Error in Mozambique: DOGE confused Gaza Province with Gaza Strip, ending HIV care for mothers and babies.
- Gates Steps In—but Sounds Alarm: He pledges $200B in response, but says no charity can undo reckless policy.
If one man can end programs that save millions, what happens when he gets it wrong? Should billionaire ideology ever replace democratic responsibility?
