Trump probably should be allowed back on social media, Bill Gates says

[IcyPeas]

WTF

Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates told CNBC that social media companies should eventually take their muzzles off former President Donald Trump, despite his “corrosive” election fraud conspiracy theories.

“I think at some point he probably will be allowed back on and probably should be allowed back on,” the Microsoft co-founder said in an interview that aired Thursday morning.

1. NO!!!!!

[soothsayer]

2. +1000000000000000000000

[Dan]

3. Gates should stick

To Microsoft (with bugs).

[VickiSmith]

4. No, NO and NO n/t

[0rganism]

5. "at some point"

i'm hoping that point will be posthumous

[guillaumeb]

28. An acceptable compromise. eom

[dalton99a]

6. Yeah, let him incite some more

[BlueMTexpat]

7. NEVER! eom

[joshcryer]

8. One year ban, zero tolerence when he returns, one year ban again for breaking it.

That's likely what will happen.

Not saying I agree with it but permanently deleting someones presence from a platform isn't exactly necessary. There's a lot of people in the gamer/streamer community who have been banned and allowed back on the platforms.

[Mr.Bill]

9. Trump shouldn't be allowed on Earth. n/t

[EndlessWire]

10. NO!!

The guy tried to take our government out. NOOOOO!!! Not now, not EVER!! I'd like his sorry, pasty ass kicked out of the country!

Bill, what is wrong with you!? He contributes NOTHING to social media except hate! He should be in jail right now! He got people KILLED. I expect more from you, Bill, than sympathy for the likes of tRump!

[gratuitous]

11. Gee Bill

If you're missing the pearls of wisdom Donald sharts out, maybe you could just send your private e-mail address to him? The rest of us are rather enjoying the silence.

[LiberalFighter]

12. Gates is wrong.

[FakeNoose]

13. Breaking: Bill Gates is on LSD

[triron]

23. Or some hallucinogen.

[Demsrule86]

14. No, Mind your own business Gates...we don't need a big liar telling more lies.

[mobeau69]

15. No! He's a National security risk.

[targetpractice]

16. Not unless his first and only Tweet is...

"Rosebud"

[Thomas Hurt]

17. fuck no

[Vinca]

18. Absolutely not. The main thing the man is known for is lying. That doesn't belong where the cult

can suck it up and carry on with whatever disruption he wants to cause the Biden administration.

[JonLP24]

19. Social media terms of service have to apply to everyone equally

Trump broke the rules all the time.

[tblue37]

20. Noooooo!!!!!!

[triron]

21. Is Gates out of his mind? Dementia setting in?

[mountain grammy]

22. Not only NO

but Fuck No!! Shut up Bill.

[Hoyt]

24. Despise trump and will dance on his grave like Limbaugh's, but Gates has a point.

Although I would prefer trump create his own website or platform than contaminate FB, Twitter, and others used by the majority of people.

I honestly believe the majority of people -- even a lot of the white wing rubes who still support trump -- know he is a POS, and his racist hateful views are crud.

[world wide wally]

25. Actually, the world has been much better off without his tweets

[Lunabell]

26. If I can't get back on twitter for slut shaming Kim Kardashian, (yes, I shouldn't have)

then trump shouldn't get back on after promoting a violent insurrection.

[Meowmee]

27. NO

You stupid fool, just NO. He incited violence and insurrection & committed other crimes via twitter and elsewhere, he abused numerous individuals, the nation and the world for over 4 years- it should be a permanent ban as it should be for all social media platforms.

[tanyev]

29. He should be in prison, Bill.

Keeping him off social media is a trivial consequence for everything he’s done.

[Ritabert]

30. Absolutely not!

He has learned nothing and will resume his attempt to overthrow the government. Let him fund his own platform. Gates has enough money that he is immune from whatever crap Trump pulls. The rest of us are not.

[JuJuYoshida]

31. STFU Bill no, just no.

[SoonerPride]

32. Fuck no

Not in a million years

[Ferrets are Cool]

33. I agree. At the exact moment of his death.

[andym]

34. Bill Gates' Microsoft controls LinkedIn

So does that mean Trump will be posting there? Of course Gates is no longer in charge...

[Firestorm49]

35. Everybody has the right to their own opinion, and how much money you have

helps validate (elevate) that opinion. Thus the old expression by one Robert Zimmerman, “Money doesn’t talk, it screams.”
