Bill says: "I wouldn't assume [Elon will make it worse]"

Headline says, "Bill says Elon could make it worse!!"

Ironically, aren't headlines like this part of the problem they are discussing?

[bngr_bngr]

At one point Bill wanted to destroy every browser company at any price. Now he is trying to play nice.

[beyondsingularity]

"We shouldn't underestimate Elon" from someone like bill gates means something lol

[vicibasco]

How can people still believe anything Bill says?

[Hecklefishfearthecrabcat]

If I had a choice between Bill and Elon, it would be Elon. Gates is untrustworthy. Let him eat bugs

[gotrice]

Question to ask Bill here, “Is you hanging out with Epstein a conspiracy?”

[jryde]

Bill is only saying that because his involvement with Epistine can't be censored on Twitter

[PedroTRamos]

You can see it pains him to say anything positive about Elon.

[konradbidwell]

Bill Gates, oh yeah let’s get his opinion as he’s got such great integrity.

[zachmerrill]

Let’s all remember, this is the guy who gave a Ted talk on reducing the human population.

[kalomboC]

When did Bill become an expert on everything? Pandemics, Climate Change, Misinformation, Poverty etc suddenly he is our go to man for everything 😆

[katherineolmstead]

It just goes to show you: all of the people who are afraid that Elon Musk will allow freedom of speech are afraid that we will NOT BE CENSORED!!!

[alexander]

That’s the point. As soon as you start limiting speech you deem misinformation, you become the arbiter of truth. Even things that we may think are true could be proven wrong in the future

[hectoralejandro]

Ah yes, let’s take ethical advice from the man exchanging water for sterilization in Africa. Preach, tell us more, Bill.

[pinnacleproductions]

This guy is clearly scared that he won’t be able to censor the truth, or be able to censor actual medical and scientific data on the joke jab.

[silix]

It’s unbelievable how somebody can be so ignorant to the fact that wherever people are censored for not telling “the truth” there has to be somebody to define what’s true and what isn’t. That would work if the creature doing that was the all knowing god. Unfortunately, in reality more often than not it’s angry people in their 20s, politicians, corporations, etc. There must not be anybody having the power to define “the truth” for all of humanity or otherwise this power will eventually be abused.

[Mikeykneeled]

The king of misinformation worried about misinformation amazing

[JnWmMatt]

Do I trust someone like Bill Gates? When he has shown who he is with his own partnerings, believe him. WHO? WEF? EPSTEIN? Even farmers in India protested against his "help".

[ljmars]

Bill doesn't like misinformation.

[marshahavemann]

I just don’t trust someone who assumes free speech needs to be monitored rather than allowing people to investigate the truth of information for themselves. When apposing sides are allowed free speech the truth will come out. One sided conversations lead to devious untruths.
