Bill Gates, one of the wealthiest individuals in the world who received immense backlash for being closely associated with pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, “disclosed in private” that he donated around $50 million to a nonprofit assisting Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for president, according to individuals familiar with the matter who spoke with the New York Times.

The Democrat donation was intended to remain confidential, according to the sources.
The insiders further claimed that the Microsoft co-founder gave his donation to Future Forward, the primary external fund-raising organization assisting Harris. According to two of the people briefed, Gates discussed his pro-Harris donation with his colleagues, including Mike Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City whose owned news outlet was one of the first to break the story, and a leading Future Forward supporter who has contemplated making a gift of a comparable scale.
Gates’s payment was made specifically to the nonprofit arm of Future Forward. As a 501(c)(4) “dark money” organization, Future Forward USA Action does not reveal its contributors. Therefore, Gates’ donation will never be included in any public filing.
“I support candidates who demonstrate a clear commitment to improving health care, reducing poverty and fighting climate change in the U.S. and around the world,” he told the New York Times. “I have a long history of working with leaders across the political spectrum, but this election is different, with unprecedented significance for Americans and the most vulnerable people around the world.”
Gates and Bloomberg have reportedly been friends for a long time and became close thanks to their shared interests in public health, government, globalism, philanthropy, and climate change.
Yet, in 2019, Gates voiced a commitment to not participate in handing out large political donations.
“I choose not to participate in large political donations,” Gates claimed in late 2019. “There are times it might feel tempting to do so, and there are other people who choose to do so, but I just don’t want to grab that gigantic megaphone.”
Trump has been the target of a flurry of condemning Democrat-funded advertisements, with Future Forward being the point of the spear. Even toward the end of the election, Gates’ gift could be used to fund even more anti-Trump advertisements.
Social media users chimed in and commented on the news of Gates’ hefty donation.
“Billionaires donate money not for altruistic reasons but for their own self interests. It always comes with strings attached. It’s sad to see liberals call out billionaires that flood the Trump campaign with cash (like Elon Musk and Bill Ackman), but then praise the ones (like Bill Gates) when they donate to the Democrats,” said one commenter.
In 2022, Synchron, a new brain-computer interface startup that seeks to compete with businesses like Elon Musk’s Neuralink, received investments from Bill Gates and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who have both voiced an interest in transhumanism. The idea of transhumanism holds that humans should be able to use technology to “improve and alter” their bodies and minds, extending their capabilities beyond what is now possible due to biological limitations or nature.
Additionally, Morrissey, a now-solo artist who was previously the frontman in the popular English band The Smiths, had some words to say this year about Gates, in addition to Dr. Fauci and Klaus Schwab, the founder of the controversial World Economic Forum.
Morrissey has long denounced the globalist elite for their destructive policies and abuses of power. Since the musician opposes unchecked illegal immigration and supports English nationalism, the UK mainstream media has attempted to portray him as racist and “anti-immigrant.”
Additionally, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) had criticisms for Gates last year in regards to the funding of gain-of-function research related to COVID-19 and his close ties to China.
“Look, Bill Gates has been over there [China] recently. Bill Gates is the largest funder of trying to find these viruses in remote caves and bring them to big cities. What happened in China is they went 8 to 10 hours south of Wuhan, 2 to 300 feet deep into a cave, found viruses, and took them back to a city of 15 million,” Paul said.
