Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates reflected on his childhood, government reform, U.S.-China relations, and past ties to Jeffrey Epstein in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal. Gates said he likely would have been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum if he were a child today. He supported former President Donald Trump’s initiative to cut federal spending but warned against eliminating key healthcare programs. He criticized his past association with Epstein as a “huge mistake.” Gates maintains a close relationship with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, reviewing products about 15 of his time.
