With Elon Musk having recently voiced support for German far-right populist political party Alternative for Germany (AfD), Bill Gates has weighed in on his fellow biollionaire's ability to "destabilise the political situations in countries." Gates notes that Musk thinks "Nigel Farage is not right wing enough" in this context, a stance he describes as "insane shit".
In an extended interview with The Times discussing the Microsoft co-founder's youth, upcoming autobiography, and philanthropy, Musk comes up after Gates reflects on his recent meeting with President Donald Trump. Elon Musk came under fire for making two one-armed gestures to the crowd at Trump's inauguration last week that are being widely interpreted as Nazi-style salutes, despite his claims to the contrary.
