Imagine if Bill gates had kept his 49% of microsoft that he owned when MSFT IPOed. He would be worth $800 billion today, on his way to be a $trillionaire soon
Elon's now got enough money to make the green deal via lobbying a reality. No matter who wins re-election. On one side I feel conflicted, on the other, this country made its bed by voting those policies into place.
Quick google: Bill Gates has given away $45 billion to his foundation. Soros has given away $32 billion to his foundation. Bill gates is still worth $115 billion, even after giving away $45 billion. Soros is worth around $8 billion today. I don't know how much of Gate's give away was humanitarian and political. But Soros is the one with the bad reputation for using his money to push his politics onto others. Gates could do a lot more political damage than Soros with the $115 billion he has left, i mean if he wanted to..
The biggest part of his billions are not cash but invested in stocks. To use these billions he has to sell stocks. Which will cut him off from future profits if Tesla stock would rise. On the other hand, if Tesla stocks would go down he would lose a lot of money, and positions in the ranking. What goes up (fast, or at a non realistic level) can go down fast and deep too.
Do you have examples, i mean i heard about Soros funding things like BLM etc. But only negative things i have heard about Gates are the vaccination related things he wants to push on people, are there other examples?
