🚨 Here's the latest rumor involving Bill Gates:

Bill Gates said: “I admit that political polarization may bring it all to an end, we’re going to have a hung election and a civil war.”According to exclusive reporting from Forbes, Gates said this in September 2022 at the Forbes 400 Philanthropy Summit. To date, we’ve been unable to locate a full transcript or complete video recording of the event. We reached out to the Forbes writer, the company’s corporate communications team, and the summit’s organizers with additional questions.

“The polarization and lack of trust is a problem,” he said. “One of the best-selling books last year was a book by Robert Kennedy, saying that I like to make money and kill millions of people with vaccines. It’s wild that [that] sells well.” Covid-related conspiracy theories appear to be dying down with the receding pandemic: “I have a group that tracks what’s on the web that’s talking about things that connect to me,” he said. “Overwhelmingly during the pandemic, 95% was all the conspiracy theory stuff. It is calming down now.”

But Gates is still worried about domestic polarization in the U.S., which he sees little hope for in the short-term. “I admit that political polarization may bring it all to an end, we’re going to have a hung election and a civil war,” he said. “I have no expertise in that, I’m not going to divert my money to that because I wouldn’t know how to spend it.”
