Microsoft founder Bill Gates used an appearance with the far-left co-hosts of ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday to complain about fellow billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to shutter USAID.
“Well, Elon, his private sector work, you know, has been very innovative, really fantastic,” Gates said following news that USAID offices had been closed and the charity’s funds frozen.
A lot of private sector people, when they get into government, they don’t take the time necessarily to see what the good work is or why it’s structured the way it is, so I’m a little worried, particularly with this USAID stuff,” Gates continued.
“My foundation partners with USAID on nutrition and getting vaccines out, and, you know, there’s incredible people,” he added. “You know, they’re not actually worms that work there. So, you know, hopefully, we’ll get some of that work back in shape. In fact, if we don’t, you know, you could have literally millions of deaths.”
