I disagree with you on Bill Gates. He uses his wealth for his agenda, period, and is very open about it now. Pre-covid I was researching him reading and watching videos and like you say I was impressed by his "ambitions' in medical research and advancements. When covid hit, if you searched hard other videos popped up and well my views changed on him. Then noticing how the media was interviewing him during the pandemic as if he was going to save us and pushing vaccines it was just making more sense. He is using his wealth for control at this point and wants to be the only go to person the U.S. turns to in how to live are lives.They are so content and have filled their pockets so much that they want to wipe out 7/8ths of the population?
Absolutely. That is why he continues to invest in the next greatest possible thing that will win in the marketplace. Even Buffett is that way.
Drive and ambition is not something one learns, it is in their DNA and no amount is enough. It is how they keep score.
And the last thing they want is to reduce their market, they want to grow it and keep expanding their empire.
Buffett is just straight up old school business man, this guy knows nothing else. His generation is what I call creatures of habit, once they do something well or something they are comfortable with they do nothing else. He has stated multiple times he loves what he does (making money) and plans to donate all of it to charities when he passes away and not his family which is fine.
