      Gates almost certainly didn't do the copy on that bit. He likely had a team of Elon Musk Wanna-bes at some Madison Avenue image consultancy put the window dressing on it in post. I'd be a little surprised if he's actually even seen the finished product.

      Appeal to authority. 'Billionaires will save us! Their wealth proves they are better/smarter/work harder than everyone else.'

      It's just class interests.

      Gates literally could put tracking microchips into vaccines at this point and liberals would defend him. It's safe to always assume he's up to no good.

        The insidious thing is they put out insane conspiracy theories about Gates at the same time that he's being treated as a prophet in the media and is influencing world policy with his money.

    My roomie puts on CNN for COVID news and Gates is slathered all over that network as some kind of expert on everything.

    It's bizarre. Gates and Epstein's relationship is well documented, the Gates Foundation philanthropy is increasingly looked at as a tax write off, and now the intellectual property fight over vaccines is getting play in the media.

    I think the appeal of Gates for these people is the appeal to authority. 'Trust us, we trust Bill. He's even richer than we are, therefore he knows more!'

    But it's just so strange to see the contradictions between Gates' media appearances and reality, and is just leaving the network open to criticism until a scandal rocks the Gates world.

    Shit. Someone check if there's enough apartheid diamond mines to give us one Musk per sector.
