    Umm. Bill Gates... doesn't say what's widely claimed on Twitter. I'm not a fan. I think Microsoft happened because of its monopoly position that it *still* benefits from. But he's clearly saying he'll vote Warren if the nominee despite thinking wealth tax will be huge for him.https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1192438094177456129 …

    Here’s what Bill Gates had to say yesterday about Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax, plus his thoughts on a potential Warren vs. Trump decision in 2020. #DealBook https://cnb.cx/34FXapH  pic.twitter.com/rWrIj8fSO8

        I say this independent of my thoughts on why anyone would need that much wealth, how philanthropy can be unaccountable form a social control and fig leaf (I think @AnandWrites is solid there) and again, I think a good chunk of current wealth is basically monopoly returns.

        But Bill Gates is very very clearly saying he will vote for Warren if she's the nominee even though he jokes (clearly mostly joking) that he thinks (mostly incorrectly) that the wealth tax will be huge for him. I think we can correctly infer she's probably not his first choice.

        Social media's problem isn't filter bubbles as much as how it facilitates conflict generation part zillion. Again, independent of what one thinks of Bill Gates or his wealth. It's clear that he didn't say he'd vote Trump over Warren because of wealth tax.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1189958945944653824 …

        As for an actual point: rather than online filter bubbles, it’s the engagement/ad-driven business model which generates a design—not just algorithms—that fuels in-group bonding AND out-group conflict that should be our key worry. https://twitter.com/ethanz/status/1189735935530995712 …

        We worry about filter bubbles, but we encounter lots of other views online. The problem is that we see the other side, but only in a boxing ring, not in the context of meaningful deliberation. @zeynep at #sdf19 pic.twitter.com/2U6n9How9h

        By design, social media fuels this. Conflict is engaging.

        It’s amazing how much of our discourse is wasted on taking the least plausible and worst possible interpretation of the thing someone said and then pitching a fit over it.

        Strange that he thinks Warren would not want to meet or debate people with money.

        Not sure I buy this. People do seem to be getting their underwear in a bunch, but he implies at the end that Warren, though the more “professional” candidate (his word), may not be the most “electable” (again, his word). She’s electable if you support her, Bill. Get on the train.

        I interpreted this as Gates saying he hopes the Democratic candidate is electable, i.e. wins the election.
