Bill Gates addressed the world with an unexpected accusation against Elon Musk

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has criticized Elon Musk, who heads the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), stating that his decisions to cut foreign aid are hitting the most vulnerable population groups.

This is reported by the Financial Times.

According to the publication, the reduction in support from the US is causing acute shortages of food and medicine in various regions of the world, which significantly increases the risks of outbreaks of dangerous diseases, including measles, HIV, and polio.

Gates emphasized that Musk canceled grants for a hospital in Gaza province in Mozambique. These funds were intended for critical programs aimed at preventing mother-to-child HIV transmission. According to Gates, the decision to cancel the grants could have been made due to a misconception that the US was supposedly supplying contraceptives to Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip.

Additionally, the billionaire expressed concerns that Musk does not have a complete understanding of how the US Agency for International Development (USAID) works and its true objectives.
