NEW YORK – Elon Musk has publicly criticized Melinda French Gates, the ex-wife of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, for her support of US President Joe Biden.
The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX expressed his dissatisfaction with French Gates’ political stance on X, previously known as Twitter.
As the 2024 presidential election nears, the political endorsements and contributions from high-profile individuals like Melinda French Gates will remain under scrutiny and debate.
Musk’s disapproval also touches on his broader concerns regarding the influence of wealthy philanthropists in politics. He has previously expressed skepticism about the power held by large foundations, advocating for increased transparency and accountability.
The criticism follows French Gates’ consistent support for President Biden and her significant contributions to his campaign.
She has been a vocal advocate for Biden, highlighting the importance of his policies on public health, education, and economic recovery.
In a recent interview, Melinda French Gates stated, “Joe Biden is the leader who can bring us through these difficult times. His policies are what we need to recover and build a more equitable future,”.
She emphasized Biden’s efforts in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and social inequality.
