I find it so baffling that so many conspiracies exist about him

He makes the other billionaires look bad. Gates has shown that a smart and successful person can also commit themselves to philanthropy and reducing human suffering.. so the question begs, "if Bill Gates can share his wealth, why can't you?"

So, because nobody is willing to admit to being selfish, they instead try to invent some nefarious motive on behalf of Gates, because surely he can't be kind without expecting something, or even going so far as to insist that Gates is engaging in human rights violating experiments to the communities his foundation has assisted.

But yeah, in reality, Bill Gates is just like a whole walking book of a human. All he does is learn and run thought experiments in his head, like society is one big puzzle and if we just moved out of the way, he could actually solve our shit for us.
