Gates does a full 180 on Climate Change (Patreon)

From “the world is ending” in 2019 to “everything will be fine” today!

There’s a clear inconsistency here. He has spent years shorting Tesla — arguably one of the most impactful companies addressing climate change — and those bets didn’t pay off. Neither have his ESG investments.

In fact, his losses have been so significant that even Steve Ballmer, once his employee, has now surpassed him in wealth.

The takeaway: be cautious of billionaires who present themselves as moral authorities on global issues. Their agendas often serve their own interests rather than the planet’s.
