Overview

  • Bill Gates announced plans to spend $200 billion through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years, with the foundation set to dissolve by December 31, 2045.
  • The accelerated disbursement was approved by the foundation’s board, doubling its previous 25-year spending to address global health and poverty challenges.
  • Gates cited the Trump administration's cuts to USAID, led by Elon Musk, as a key motivator for his decision, warning of a rise in preventable child deaths from five to six million annually.
  • The foundation will focus on reducing maternal and child mortality, eradicating infectious diseases like polio and malaria, and alleviating poverty worldwide.
  • Gates condemned Musk's role in the aid cuts, linking them to halted programs in Gaza and Mozambique, while Musk dismissed the accusations, calling Gates a 'liar.'
