Speaking at the Wall Street Journal's CEO Summit Wednesday, Gates said it's unclear how Musk will change Twitter if he takes ownership while also raising concerns about the spread of misinformation on social media platforms.co-founder admitted that Musk's track record at other companies is impressive, hailing his time at the helm of Tesla and SpaceX as "mind-blowing.
"How does he feel about something [on Twitter] that says 'vaccines kill people' or that 'Bill Gates is tracking people?"" Gates asked. He said it's "dangerous" when people "cast out" on the key tool that's being used to save people's lives and he believes those who own social media platforms have a role to play when it comes to ensuring the truth gets shared effectively."When you don't have the trusted leaders speaking out about vaccines, it's pretty hard for the platform to work against that," he admitted.
