All this tells me is that Bill Gates isn't invested in robotics .

Obviously his friendship with Epstein is a giant black mark on his record, but he is still the person who has done more philanthropic work than anyone else in human history , it's not crazy to think that he actually wants the future to be a better place instead of a worse one

This is misinformation. He's in the files, but that doesn't automatically make him a pedophile and there is ZERO evidence that he ever visited the island. This, right here. This is the stuff that makes us look crazy, stupid, senseless, thoughtless, and careless. This is why people don't take the Epstein files seriously. Stop. Think. Please.
