For decades,

Bill Gates had built an excellent reputation

in the public eye and the media. He represented the archetype of a sympathetic

self-made

geek

who despite being immensely wealthy had not fallen into eccentricity. His official story inspired the classic tale that Silicon Valley tech entrepreneurs have copied over and over again when it comes to talking about themselves: he dropped out of college, wandered around the United States a bit, set up his business precariously with a partner and in a short time that small company revolutionized the world in a disruptive way becoming a multinational (Microsoft) where it was

chaining one success after another

.

After leaving the front line of Microsoft, he

created his own foundation (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation)

that was in charge of various social and environmental causes. In 2020, he permanently resigned from the board of directors of the company he had created. The official version Gates gave was that he wanted to focus all his attention on his foundation.

However, the reality was different: Bill Gates' managerial position hung by a thread while an internal investigation was carried out into

an intimate and "inappropriate" relationship that Microsoft's father had maintained with a subordinate

despite being married to Melinda. Before the investigations were concluded, Gates decided to leave his seat on the council, give the official version so far known, and both parties omitted any mention of the investigation into the affair, according to the

Wall Street Journal

.

Gates's departure from Microsoft had a relatively low profile

as he had left the leadership of the company years ago. At the same time, the

propaganda machine of his foundation was

working at full capacity: donations, multi-million dollar projects, patronage to the media and an aggressive public relations campaign even led him to participate in different UN events to publicize the Bill and Melinda Foundation Gates with great positive coverage.

The initiatives of its foundation have an

ecological and social character.

They pursue goals such as the promotion of vaccination, the fight against climate change, the empowerment of women, reinventing the toilet to bring sanitation to remote areas of Africa and even more far-fetched projects such as throwing dust into the atmosphere to attenuate radiation solar.

Until a few days ago, Bill Gates had only faced two types of criticism:

those of technology experts

who advocated free software as an alternative to Microsoft products during its early years and those of

conspiracy theorists

who saw in the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation a global control vehicle.

In neither case did the criticism really make a dent or had a great impact. In the case of the first group, these were overly technical issues and

required considerable computer knowledge

far removed from that of an ordinary person. In the case of the latter, they even favored him when it came to shaping the image of

Bill Gates as an authority in the epidemiological field

(despite not having any kind of academic training in this regard) because they were

completely nonsensical criticisms such

as that vaccines contain a 5G control chip.

Even the most scandalous parts of his past, such as when it became known that he was

arrested for driving without a license,

exceeding the speed limit and disobeying traffic signs, were well received by the public.

It wasn't until a few weeks ago that the public image of the sympathetic down-to-earth philanthropist

began to crumble

in a rapid fall into hell.

The trigger for all this has been his relationship with the billionaire and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was found

hanged in his cell at

the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan during his second period of detention.

The relationship between Epstein and Gates was revealed by the New York Times three months after the millionaire's death.

When the news was known, Gates' communication team minimized their relationship by ensuring that there was no type of friendship between the two and that they were specific encounters in which other people participated.

In addition, a short time later the Covid-19 pandemic broke out and

the media attention on Gates turned to the issue of vaccination

.

However, as the Wall Street Journal now publishes, this revelation was

the last straw for Melinda Gates to

start visiting a lawyer to prepare for her multi-million dollar divorce, announced two years later.

And is that the relationship between Gates himself and Epstein could be much deeper than what the communication apparatus of the founder of Microsoft wanted to recognize. According to The Daily Beast,

Bill Gates visited Epstein

in his apartment of 77 million dollars in Manhattan looking to

"rest from his marriage"

and "flee from Melinda" in an environment that the media defines as

"a club for men

.

"

According to these information, both were "very close" and, even, that Epstein would have advised Bill Gates to end his "toxic" marriage with Melinda.

Furthermore, despite supporting female empowerment initiatives at his foundation,

Bill Gates's attitude towards Melinda

and other women around him at his foundation have been described as

"dismissive"

and "domineering."

Likewise, his behavior towards the opposite sex in said foundation has been described as

"clumsy" and "questionable"

.

According to the New York Times,

Gates made intimate proposals

to women who worked for him on at least two occasions, claiming that the billionaire fostered a "strange" work environment.

A series of information that had not appeared even in the most intimate biographical stories about Gates that shed a new light on one of the characters that changed the world of

technology

forever.
