Gates is spearheading the cure of diseases all over the world - there are few better ways to purchase goodwill or a good reputation. That is: his area of work has helped (or at least not hindered) his PR team in keeping up a good reputation. Sadly we cannot trust all billionaires to be 'enlightened despots', but at least in this case I say we lucked out - there's plenty stupid or harmful things he could've done Like, for example, purchase Twitter and grind it into garbage. I'm joking, of course, but goes to show why Musk is considered an imbecile _despite_ having money and Gates is considered intelligent because he made money (and spends it well).
