You had such a good start trying to show that he isn’t a great person even though he’s done some good things and then you had to go and be all antivaxxer.
All conspiracy theories start with a small truth, that’s what makes conspiracy theories feel justified and right.
Nail on the head. Bill Gates is not a super good person and has done bad things. A logical response is to see that humans are fickle and are capable of doing good things and bad things. An illogical response to that is spiraling to say he’s injecting us with microchips and involved with some medical cabal.
Which leans to the other truth about conspiracy theorists. They are afraid, and realizing that humans even as high up as Gates are fallible means that no one really knows what they are doing and the world is chaotic. It feels safer to say they’re all in cahoots because even if it’s really bad, at least there is someone in control.
It’s completely normal to search for answers in the chaos, and it’s okay to feel afraid that we’re all just hurtling through space on this rock with no one in the drivers seat - but we need to be self reflective to see those are our actual emotions, and not try to cover up our emotions with theories that make us feel better.
Bill Gates: I own big pharma companies that make vaccines.
Bill Gates: I use my charity to buy vaccines from my pharma companies
Bill Gates: I will sue people that infringe on any vaccine patent so the vaccines stay expensive
Bill Gates: I bankroll more than half the money that goes into the WHO and that’s definitely not suspicious. I make sure to tell them how important vaccines are!

All of which would still apply to Elon Musk. No way the guys open sourcing his microchips.
