Larry didn't actually utter that, BTW. Check the transcript: http://insideevs.com/google-ceo-larry-page-billions-go-tesla-ceo-elon-musk/ http://insideevs.com/g

  I agree that a paraphrase =/= a quote. Are you saying my paraphrase significantly misrepresented him? If so, how? (I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just genuinely don't understand your point.)

    He didn't mention Gates or charity at all. It's like if you said, "I like ice cream" and I reported it as, "This person thinks buying ice cream is more noble than giving a starving family a bag of rice."

      OK I understand now. I read this sentence in the article: ...suggesting that when he passes away, he’d like for his billions to go to Tesla’s Musk. Although leaving your billions to X implies not leaving it to Y -- e.g. Gates -- that's not necessarily true. And more basically, this is the article writer's sentence -- not a quote from Larry Page. I was wrong. Thank you for helping me understand why.
