          Absolutely. We're much safer with Gates efforts outside the US government and well away from Trump's need to fluff his ego.

          Reality: Gates may never accept - impossible to guarantee control and impossible to guarantee he doesn't end up being blamed for things.

          If entire countries didn't run on pirated copies of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office, @BillGates would have been a far richer man than he is right now.
