Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates quietly invested $50 million in a nonprofit supporting Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.
According to the extreme left new york timesGates’ donation to Future Forward USA Action, a ‘dark money’ organization that does not disclose its donors, is his largest political donation.
Despite his claims of ‘bipartisanship and neutrality’, Gates, who was busy talking about climate change and vaccines, suddenly seems very interested in the results of the upcoming election. Especially after Elon Musk’s recent bombshell about why billionaires are so eager to get one. Harris again.
“I support candidates who demonstrate a clear commitment to improving health care in the United States and around the world, reducing poverty, and combating climate change,” Gates told the New York Times.
“I have a long history of working with leaders across the political spectrum, but this is an election of unprecedented significance for Americans and the most vulnerable people around the world.”
The New York Times reported:
After decades out of politics, Bill Gates, one of the world’s richest men, recently revealed privately that he donated about $50 million to a nonprofit supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid. We have briefed you on the matter.
The donation was to be kept secret. Mr. Gates, one of Microsoft’s founders, has not publicly endorsed Ms. Harris, and his donation would mark a significant shift in a strategy that had previously steered him away from gifts like this.
In private calls with friends and others this year, Gates expressed concerns about what a second presidential election for Donald Trump would look like, but emphasized that he is open to working with either candidate, according to a source briefed on Gates’ thinking. .
Although Mr. Gates does not have a close relationship with Ms. Harris, he has celebrated the Biden-Harris administration’s efforts on climate change. Gates’ charity, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is deeply concerned about possible cuts to family planning and global health programs if President Trump is elected, two people familiar with the foundation said.
Gates said he had donated to Future Forward, a major outside fundraising group supporting Ms. Harris, according to people briefed on the matter. Gates has spoken about donating in support of Harris, with colleagues including Mike Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York and a major Future Forward supporter, considering a donation of a similar size, according to two of the people briefed on the matter. said.
Mr. Gates’ donation was directed specifically to Future Forward’s non-profit arm, Future Forward USA Action, according to people briefed on the matter. The organization is a 501(c)(4) “dark money” organization and does not disclose its donors. Therefore, Mr. Gates’ contributions will never appear in public filings.
Like many in the elite, Bill Gates may be somewhat anxious about what a Trump presidency will mean for them.
After all, it’s no secret that Trump has hinted at releasing a list of Epstein’s clients. Musk recently argued that such a move could fundamentally shake up the billionaire class.
“One of the reasons Kamala has so much support is because if Trump wins, the list of Epstein’s clients will be made public,” Musk told Tucker Carlson in a bombshell interview.
And who’s on that list? According to Musk, people love Bill Gates.
It may be recalled that Bill Gates regretted having dinner with Jeffrey Epstein and categorically denied any connection between his foundation and Epstein’s organization.
In a live TV interview, ABC Australia’s Sarah Ferguson spoke about Bill Gates’ relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Ferguson asked the billionaire and Microsoft co-founder whether he regretted the relationship he “maintained” with Epstein “against Melinda’s advice and wishes.”
“You’re going back in time, but you’ll say it 100 times: I shouldn’t have had dinner with that person,” Gates said.
“Epstein had a way of compromising people sexually. Is that what Melinda warned you about?” asked Ferguson.
“No, I mean… (Pause) No, I had dinner with him, and that’s it.” Gates answered.
Melinda Gates has accused her ex-husband Bill of maintaining a long-standing friendship with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein despite warnings that he was giving her “nightmares”.
