Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is calling on governments around the world to crack down on the “problem” of X boss Elon Musk’s free speech rights.
Specifically, Gates is demanding action against Musk’s social media posts.
In a new interview with the Times, Gates reveals that he harbors negative feelings toward Musk.
Gates assured governments and elites who feel the same way that they can count on his support.
He also hinted at what they should do about the “problem” of Musk and the freedom of speech on his social media platform X.
Gates argued during the interview that governments should censor Musk because of his political views, especially those publicly expressed on X.
He revealed that he supports efforts by the UK’s socialist government, and its corporate media allies, in trying to crack down on Musk.
The UK’s ruling Labour Party has been lambasting Musk as a “billionaire bully” who supposedly interferes in the country’s affairs.
Musk outraged the leftist government by expressing opinions on issues such as the scandal surrounding grooming gangs that rape British children.
The Times interviewer describes Gates as “responsible” and on a mission to “save lives.”
Gates agreed with the description from the outlet, which routinely smears Musk as a “threat.”
“I’m ultra-different,” Gates claimed while comparing himself to Musk.
“It’s really insane that he can destabilize the political situations in countries.
“I think in the U.S. foreigners aren’t allowed to give money; other countries maybe should adopt safeguards to make sure super-rich foreigners aren’t distorting their elections,” he said.
The comment was surprising from Gates, however, considering Musk is an American citizen.
In addition, Gates is also “super-rich” and his foundation interferes with societies, particularly in developing countries.
The Gates Foundation invests millions in third-world experiments for agriculture, vaccination, and testing Digital IDs in preparation for global rollouts.
Elsewhere in the interview, Gates takes a swipe at Musk’s many high-profile businesses to share that he cannot understand why he would care about wide-scale child sexual exploitation.
Why is he “obsessing about this grooming story in the UK?” Gates asked.
“I’m like, ‘what?’,” he added.
He also slammed Musk for “promoting right-wing” and “populist stirring” such as voicing support for Germany’s opposition AfD party.
AfD is under heavy pressure from the German establishment and the European Union.
Regarding social media, Gates describes it as a “problem.”
He then claims he “thinks of the children” when calling for crackdowns on “misinformation.”
To justify his stance, Gates accuses Musk and social media platforms of allowing “crazy non-factual things to achieve critical mass.”
Once again, Gates would like to see government action against the things he dislikes.
However, he is “disappointed” that allegedly neither the government nor tech companies have been doing anything about “fixing or improving” the situation.
“This approach isn’t going to be very good,” he warns.
“Take vaccine misinformation: that could get dangerous.
“Children can die of measles.”
