While Elon Musk is determined to travel to Mars , Bill Gates is not in the least interested in the red planet and prefers to concentrate his efforts on planet Earth, where there is still much to do to guarantee its future. The Microsoft co-founder expressed himself with such forceful words on journalist Kara Swisher's podcast , where he had the opportunity to talk about his book How to Avoid a Climate Disaster . Gates has not hesitated to praise Musk for his contribution to the fight against climate change through his company Tesla's commitment to electric cars , although he wanted to emphasize that in the war against global warming it is not enough to focus on electric cars. «Having short-term goals is very important. But if that's all you focus on, then you'll only work on the easy things, like passenger cars, where Tesla and others have undoubtedly done a great job.
But basically we are not doing enough on the hard things: steel, cement, meat . And unfortunately, the things that people think about, electricity, passenger cars, are a third of the problem," says Gates. Before colonizing Mars, there are many Phone Number List problems still to be solved on Earth, according to Bill Gates Regarding space and the possibility of colonizing Mars, Gates has assured that he is definitely not "a Mars person . " The former CEO of Microsoft prefers to focus his attention on planet Earth and its many problems. In fact, he rules out (at least for now) an eventual trip to space. «You know, I'm not going to pay a lot of money to travel to space because my foundation can buy measles vaccines and save a life for $1,000 .
So, in everything I do, I always think, okay, I could spend that $1,000 buying measles vaccines,” he asserts. Unlike other billionaires like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates does not seem to have any interest in joining the space race and his main priority is currently the fight against the climate crisis with the help, among other companies, of Amazon ( which has committed to reaching zero net CO2 emissions by 2040). In Kara Swisher's podcast she also had words for Mark Zuckerberg , whom she described as a good person who has before him the colossal challenge of highlighting all the good things about social networks and minimizing their darker side.
