President Donald Trump hosted a dinner at the White House featuring tech leaders, including Bill Gates, who sat near Melania Trump. During the event, Gates discussed collaborations with Trump on gene editing and vaccines to “eradicate” diseases, drawing criticism. Social media users expressed distrust toward Gates, labeling him a globalist with a “God complex.” Gates referenced Operation Warp Speed, a pandemic initiative, while emphasizing artificial intelligence applications. Trump appeared engaged but some observers noted his discomfort. The meeting occurred amid scrutiny of Trump’s past support for Operation Warp Speed and ongoing debates about Gates’ influence.
