Gates: „Ich will nicht als reicher Mann sterben!“</p><p><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/BillGates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BillGates</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Entwicklungshilfe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Entwicklungshilfe</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/GatesFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GatesFoundation</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/USAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USAID</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.manager-magazin.de/politik/bill-gates-attackiert-elon-musk-reichster-mann-toetet-die-aermsten-kinder-der-welt-a-07db7356-ab14-40d4-87d9-1076af558cf2" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">manager-magazin.de/politik/bil</span><span class="invisible">l-gates-attackiert-elon-musk-reichster-mann-toetet-die-aermsten-kinder-der-welt-a-07db7356-ab14-40d4-87d9-1076af558cf2</span></a></p>
