Recently, the conflict between Elon Musk and Bill Gates has its roots in. Bill Gates accuses Elon Musk of ‘Killing Children’ by Cutting Foreign Aid when he was working in the US government (DOGE). The Microsoft co-founder condemned the SpaceX boss, billionaire Elon Musk, for his decision to cut foreign aid funding when he was in the government.

Gates criticizes Musk on climate change and the role of government, with a recent escalation over cuts to USAID. Gates has publicly criticized Musk’s decisions, particularly regarding USAID, which he believes will harm global health initiatives and lead to an increase in child deaths in the future.

Bill Gates said the abruptness of the cuts had left life-saving basic needs food and medicines expiring in warehouses and could cause the resurgence of diseases such as measles, HIV and polio

Gates and Musk have clashed before over philanthropy In 2012. Musk signed the Giving Pledge, launched by Bill and Melinda Gates and investor Warren Buffett, through which dozens of billionaires promised to give away at least half their wealth. But Musk later told Gates that philanthropy was mostly “bullshit” and that commercial solutions to problems like climate change, including Tesla’s electric vehicles, were more effective.

In February, Gates met President Trump at the White House to advocate for continuing foreign aid disbursements from USAID. In an interview shortly after the White House meeting, Gates warned that replicating USAID’s work would be difficult for the poor children.

Gates further added, “He could go on to be a great philanthropist. In the meantime, the world’s richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world’s poorest children, this is sad”
