Why hasn't Bill Gates' reputation just collapsed?

Like, how is he still doing all these interviews and speaking at conferences when we had seen one by one other powerful people tied to Epstein resign, lose their jobs, getting investigated by international governments?

How is Bill still kind of like doing his thing?

And why does it matter?

Why should we care about Bill Gates' reputation?

His reputation matters because that is the thing holding a lot of his whole infrastructure together.

That is why people still continue to meet with him, why he has influence over policy.

why people want his money.

I've talked to someone recently who said, when you say it's tied to Bill Gates, the answer is almost automatically yes.

And I think a lot of people don't even realize how much influence and power he has because it's so carefully crafted and controlled.

And it turned out his reputation was crumbling.

We just hadn't realized it yet because they were really trying to keep it under wraps.

And once we started digging, it was actually unraveling bit by bit by bit by bit.

Look, there's more than a thousand emails connected to Bill, people who worked for him.

There are a lot of questions leading up to this congressional questioning.

So Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft with Paul Allen way back in the day.

A lot of the technology and hardware that we use either comes from them or inspired by them.

And as the Gates Foundation is getting into full swing, it's this whole other philanthropic side of Bill Gates.

He has teams of people around him that are also carefully cultivating his image and reputation, almost like a rehab of going from like younger, less polished, bad boy Bill to ultimately create someone who is more approachable and calm and a philanthropist.

The look that they go for today is someone very calm and approachable, akin to Mr. Rogers.
