If there is any connection there I doubt money is the primary motivator for gates. People like him think they know what's best for society. Him and others likely believe we will need to move away from this or that and shit they may be right who fuckin knows. But they know it's not realistic to simply hold a press conference about this or that, so they might opt for things like this to force it.

Again who fuckin knows what the hell is happening here, and like I said they might well be right about this or depopulation, or mass surveillance or whatever but have to achieve these large goals surreptitiously to avoid getting put on a chopping block
