A heated dispute has erupted between Bill Gates and Elon Musk after Gates accused Musk of endangering the lives of the world's poorest children. Gates claims that Musk's push to cut federal spending led to the shutdown of USAID, a major foreign aid agency, resulting in reduced support for vulnerable populations. Gates specifically cited increased risks for children now exposed to diseases like HIV due to funding cuts. In response, Gates has pledged to donate 99% of his fortune to his foundation to help address global poverty. The feud highlights deep divisions over the role of philanthropy and government aid in tackling global health crises.
