For a couple of reasons; Gates is well known and will draw more visibility. He’s a well trained public speaker. He knows enough about the subject matter to communicate it effectively. Also, a short interview probably isn’t long enough for someone with deep subject knowledge to scratch the surface.
- refurb 6y agoOk, I’ll buy the visibility thing. When Gates talks about anything people will listen. Maybe it’s just the cynic in me, but it comes across as a bit of “billionaire worship”. “He’s made lots of money, so he must be brilliant and I want to hear what brilliant people think about Covid.”
- sukilot 6y agoZuckerberg and Musk and Trump are billionaires and no one wants to hear their ramblings. Gates has run a huge public health organization for over a decade.
- jryle70 6y agoEh, Musk is well respected when it comes to space matters. Check out his conversations with Everyday Astronauts, Scott Manley, Tory Bruno, Peter Beck as well as space journalists.
- harry8 6y agoZuckerberg grants an interview to opine, he can get that in any newspaper or magazine and it's on the front page here. Musk's ramblings are always covered and he's used them to build a brand in Tesla the equal of Mercedess without spending a single dollar on advertising. President Trump is the actual president of the USA. God bless us all. I see the point you're trying to make and I wish were true, but it just isn't as supported by the precise examples you've given.
- im3w1l 6y agoYeah, Gates-branded information has a good reputation.
