    Gates thinks he is a farmer, also thinks he is a scientist, and with that much money, few people are willing to decline to endorse his delusions. He can basically be a little kid and pretend to be different things and he is taken seriously due to his wealth.

    Plot twist (hot take?): Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates have a 90% overlap in their characters.

      That's lowballing it, they're all functionally identical. The only difference is how much they spend on their PR teams.
