I remember reading about that at the time but couldn’t find a reliable source to back that claim. Fascists and anti-vaxxers love to scapegoat Gates along with George Soros (and jews in general) so I kind of dismissed it as far-right misinfo. Sucks if actually true, though.

He is constantly buying farmland, to the point where he’s the biggest land owner in the whole US. This is seriously harming small farmers.

The “buying farmland” part is just a product of him being a billionaire tbf, it’s what he does with it that could be concerning.

Closest I can think of is post-Microsoft Bill Gates, with the humanitarian/healthcare stuff he’s been involved in. He was a total piece of shit as Microsoft’s CEO, though, what with the aggressive anti-trust practices and all. Not that the ones that came after were much better (especially Ballmer).
