Melinda French Gates Is Ready to Take Sides

“And now there’s like this other group of activists — I’m thinking of Elon #Musk and #JackDorsey and #BillAckman and #PeterThiel. And maybe it’s just personalities, but it does feel like a different era. Do you see this generational shift among the superwealthy and how they see and use their place in the culture?

Well, the people you just named have not been very philanthropic yet. They use their voice and they use their megaphones, but I would not call those men philanthropists.”
