Do you like Bill Gates?

Ehhh... He's not a complete douchebag like Jeff Bezos, but still a billionaire who did some really questionable stuff when he was head of Microsoft. At least he is contributing a fraction of his wealth now to stuff like polio eradication, even though he could do a lot more.

I don't dislike him. I guess. I don't know much about him. I think he's big into philanthropic projects, which is good, but then he's still one of the richest people in the world which means he's a money hoarder. Also I read a lot about Microsoft's unscrupulous, anti-competitive practices when Bill Gates was head of it.

I don't really know him. But I admire and respect his work on the gates foundation, polio elimination, nuclear power and climate change.

Don't know him.

He has lots of influence on the world. I think he's pushed good things and bad. Hopefully more of the former. Trying to make the world a better place is pretty likable (assuming the case).

I don’t really know much about him other than he’s a tech billionaire who gives a lot of money to charitable causes.

I know very little about him. all I've seen of him recently is that someone tweeted that he wore "regular people clothes" to get food from a food truck like it's applaudable when rich people do things that normal people do lmao

David Icke said the following about him: "If there is anything bad for humanity, Bill Gates will write a cheque." I am against many things Icke said but I am in peace with what he said about this monster. I hate Bill Gates.

Not more than Al Gore, but yeah, great philanthroper. Even convinced other billionaires to give all their vast fortunes away for charitable causes when they pass away.
