Bill Gates plans to give away most of his fortune by 2045, blasts Musk

In a sweeping philanthropic pledge, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates announced Thursday that he will give away nearly his entire $108 billion fortune by 2045. Gates also launched a blistering attack on Elon Musk, accusing the Tesla and SpaceX CEO of “killing the world’s poorest children” by orchestrating cuts to US foreign aid. The announcement marks a dramatic acceleration of Gates’ giving and a rare public clash between two of the world’s most powerful billionaires.
