An anonymous reader quotes a report from ZDNet: RIP, 486 processor. You’ve had a long run since Intel released you back in 1989. While Microsoft stopped supporting you with the release of Windows XP in 2001, Linux kept you alive and well for another 20+ years. But all good things must come to an end, and with the forthcoming release of the Linux 6.15 kernel, the 486 and the first Pentium processors will be sunsetted.
Why? Linus Torvalds wrote recently on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), “I really get the feeling that it’s time to leave i486 support behind. There’s zero real reason for anybody to waste one second of development effort on this kind of issue.” Senior Linux kernel developer Ingo Molnar put Torvalds’ remark into context, writing, “In the x86 architecture, we have various complicated hardware emulation facilities on x86-32 to support ancient 32-bit CPUs that very very few people are using with modern kernels. This compatibility glue is sometimes even causing problems that people spend time to resolve, which time could be spent on other things.” “This will be the first time Linux has dropped support for a major chip family since 2012, when Linux stopped supporting the 386 family,” notes ZDNet’s Steven Vaughan-Nichols. “Moving forward, the minimum supported x86 CPU will now be the original Pentium (P5) or newer, requiring the presence of the Time Stamp Counter (TSC) and the CMPXCHG8B (CX8) instruction. These features are absent in the older 486 and early 586 processors, such as the IDT WinChip and AMD Elan families.”
That said, you can continue running Linux on Pentium CPUs, but you’ll have to “run museum kernels,” as Torvalds pointed out in 2022 when he first floated the idea of ending support for 486.

The KDE Project released today KDE Gear 25.04.1 as the first maintenance update to the latest KDE Gear 25.04 open-source software suite series to address various issues in your favorite KDE apps.
If you’ve had your Apple devices for a while, you probably think you know them pretty well. You have your various routines, habits, and hacks and you do what you need to do. But over the years, Apple has added a lot of features to its flagship products—including plenty of hidden gestures you might not know about. As MacRumors reminded us this week, one of those gestures is actually well-suited for sharing photos and videos across your various Apple devices, and in some cases, is probably faster than AirDrop.
The gesture itself is simple enough: Just open a photo or video, then take three fingers (your thumb, index, and middle finger) and pinch in on the image. If done successfully, you’ll see a “Copy” pop-up appear at the top of the display. (Due to the gesture, you may also dismiss the image as well, but as long as you copied it, you’re good to go.) You can also simply copy text or an image the old-fashioned way, by highlighting the text and copying it, or long-pressing on an image and tapping “Copy.”
From here, you could paste the photo or video wherever you want it to go, by either tapping a text field and choosing “Paste,” or by pinching out with three fingers instead of pinching in. However, the real convenience of this trick is to take advantage of the Apple ecosystem’s Universal Clipboard feature, which lets you copy and paste items across devices. So, you could copy a photo on your iPhone and instantly paste it on your Mac, or copy a video from your iPad and paste it to your iPhone. (This gesture unfortunately doesn’t work on Mac, even those with trackpads.)
In order for this to work, your devices need to be signed into the same Apple Account and be connected to the same wifi network with Bluetooth enabled. In addition, you need to turn on Handoff on all devices. You might already have this setting on, but just in case, go to Settings (System Settings on Mac) > General > Airplay & Continuity > Handoff.
With Handoff enabled on all devices, rinse and repeat: On your iPhone or iPad, go ahead an try a three-finger pinch on any photo or video you have loaded up. Then, paste it to another device you have open.
The next time you have a photo or video on one device you need on another, give this a shot over other methods, like AirDrop or texting yourself. Not only is it quicker to share the file, you’ll already have pasted the media where it needs to be. Win-win.
Kosmos 482, a Soviet-era spacecraft shrouded in Cold War secrecy, will reenter the Earth’s atmosphere in the next few days after misfiring on a journey to Venus more than 50 years ago.
On average, a piece of space junk the size of Kosmos 482, with a mass of about a half-ton, falls into the atmosphere about once per week. What’s different this time is that Kosmos 482 was designed to land on Venus, with a titanium heat shield built to withstand scorching temperatures, and structures engineered to survive atmospheric pressures nearly 100 times higher than Earth’s.
So, there’s a good chance the spacecraft will survive the extreme forces it encounters during its plunge through the atmosphere. Typically, space debris breaks apart and burns up during reentry, with only a small fraction of material reaching the Earth’s surface. The European Space Agency, one of several institutions that track space debris, says Kosmos 482 is “highly likely” to reach Earth’s surface in one piece.
A federal judge has allowed key parts of a class action lawsuit against Delta Air Lines to proceed, stemming from massive flight disruptions caused by CrowdStrike’s faulty Windows update in July 2024. The Register reports: Delta blamed its reliance on Microsoft software and the CrowdStrike incident for its woes. However, according to the plaintiffs in the action (PDF), both companies offered the airline assistance, which Delta turned down. Customers of the Atlanta-based carrier affected by the delays and cancellations claim they struggled to secure refunds and compensation from the airline. The plaintiffs allege that “although Delta offered reimbursement of eligible expenses through their website and app, Delta failed to clarify that the customer would only be receiving a partial reimbursement.”
“Furthermore, Delta did not disclose to its customers that acceptance of the partial reimbursement would release any legal claims the customer may have against Delta until after the customer ‘click[ed] on the button to accept the partial reimbursement.'” The action concerns both US domestic and international travel. The former is covered by US Department of Transportation rules, which require airline agents to “inform customers of their right to a refund … before making an offer for alternative transportation, travel credits, vouchers, or other compensation in lieu of refunds.”
The latter claims come under the Montreal Convention, which is designed to be a single, universal treaty to govern airline liability. Delta, which estimated its operational losses at around half a billion dollars due to the outage, sought to dismiss the complaint. While the US District Judge, Mark H. Cohen, granted the airline’s motion to dismiss some of the claims, he permitted others to proceed. These were Count I (breach of contract based on failure to refund) and Count XII (violation of the Montreal Convention).

Welcome to “Cookbook of the Week.” This is a series where I highlight cookbooks that are unique, easy to use, or just special to me. While finding a particular recipe online serves a quick purpose, flipping through a truly excellent cookbook has a magic all its own.
My sweet tooth has been nagging me lately. I expect this is because I’ve been trying to eat more vegetables and my dopamine hormones find this to be disrespectful. I like veggies, but I’m only so powerful to resist the call of sweets. In one of my bookstore browsings, I came upon a cookbook with hefty slices of lemony-looking pie with a chocolate crust scattered across the cover and snapped it up. It’s not a new book, but that’s one of my favorite things about cookbooks: they don’t have to be new or trendy to be great. This week’s Cookbook of the Week is Justice of the Pies.
Justice of the Pies is a cookbook as well as a bakery by the same name in Chicago, Illinois, with Maya-Camille Broussard at the wheel. The bakery was created to honor her late father, a criminal defense attorney and a man that brought joy to those around him with his Saturday pies. (As a big fan of puns and desserts, brava on the name.)
This book has over 85 recipes and, as expected, most of them are pies or tarts, and if they’re not, well then they’re at least circular (like whoopie pies or biscuits). Don’t expect your typical panel of pie flavors from Broussard. You thought strawberry-rhubarb was clever? How about roasted Brussels sprouts and cherry? Perhaps a slice of bleu cheese praline pear pie is more your speed? Prepare to explore your creative side with some interesting flavor combinations.
For those who don’t think much of dessert pies, don’t fret, because not everything in here is sweet. Check out chapters like Savory Pies, Quiches, and Tarts for some savory numbers.
There are loads of absolutely mouth-watering recipes in Justice of the Pies, complemented by moody, rich photography. Every recipe is designed to light up your taste buds, fill your belly, and satisfy that pang in your sweet tooth. I made the sweet potato praline pie (more on that in a moment) and from what I can tell in making that recipe and studying others, there is no pretense here for diet food. These are meals and desserts that have been crafted to elicit a smile or a gasp of excitement from your family and friends. (There is also a peaches and herb cobbler in here that might make you feel good in other ways if you choose to make the weed-infused butter.)
Scattered in between the recipes are human spotlight stories. They each tell an uplifting story about a person or group of people who wanted to bring positive change to their communities, whether it’s addressing food insecurity or resolving to throw birthday parties for children who are housing insecure. These stories deliver a dose of positivity and hopefully provide inspiration to support community efforts in our own ways. These stories echo back to Broussard’s own initiatives, like her I Knead Love workshops that provide food education to children right there in the bakery. It’s food with intention.
Like I teased above, I made the sweet potato praline pie this week. I didn’t make it easy on myself, as this recipe has three different parts. It’s a reminder that if I plan on making more pies this summer that it’s not a bad idea to double or triple her all-butter pie dough recipe and just keep a few stored in the freezer for future use.
The crust is a classic butter recipe with only four ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about reinventing the wheel here. There are some recipes that add an egg or drop in some vodka, and it all gets a little irritating. (I’m guilty of overcomplicating pie crust.) It turns out, pie crust just doesn’t need to be hacked.
The filling is what I was most interested in. I adore sweet potatoes at all times, but they’re especially charming when mashed up with brown sugar and loads of butter and baked into a pie shell. This pie preparation was straightforward and positively laden with those two important ingredients. I appreciated Broussard’s clear instructions and tips; they told me what to look out for without being long winded. For example, after the filling is completely mixed, it looks like a mistake. All of the butter specks separate from the mixture and I could see this breaking someone’s heart if they didn’t know any better. Broussard drops in a quick line that you’ll know it’s done mixing when you see those very specks show up.
As for the flavor, all sweet potato fans will be in tuber heaven. This recipe instructs you to mash the sweet potatoes rather than blend them, which gives the pie a little more structural integrity, rather than a baby food texture I’ve gotten with other recipes. The pie finishes with a slightly puckered look due to the butter specks melting away, and the high sugar content gives it a caramelized top. This pie is rich and sweet; perfect for a cup of coffee. I’m looking forward to that tomorrow morning.
You can buy the hardcover (which is beautiful) of Justice of the Pies online, and because it’s a couple years old, you can find a good deal. For those with little book shelf space to spare, consider the ebook for five bucks. Or, if you’re a bookstore butterfly like myself (bookstore bee? Still workshopping it), check out your local Barnes & Noble, stop into Warwick’s, or call up your neighborhood independent bookstore to see if they can order it for you.
Using AI can be a double-edged sword, according to new research from Duke University. While generative AI tools may boost productivity for some, they might also secretly damage your professional reputation.
On Thursday, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) published a study showing that employees who use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini at work face negative judgments about their competence and motivation from colleagues and managers.
“Our findings reveal a dilemma for people considering adopting AI tools: Although AI can enhance productivity, its use carries social costs,” write researchers Jessica A. Reif, Richard P. Larrick, and Jack B. Soll of Duke’s Fuqua School of Business.
The vast majority of people these days use some form of social media, but some develop what’s known as problematic social media use (PSMU). It’s not yet deemed a clinical addiction, but it does share some symptoms with addiction and substance abuse disorders. And according to a new paper published in the journal PLoS ONE, someone who exhibits PSMU is also more likely to believe in—and share—fake news online, contributing to the rampant spread of misinformation that is the bane of the 21st-century Internet.
“If someone struggles with a substance dependency, it’s the decision-making process in their brain where they have difficulties stopping,” co-author Dar Meshi of Michigan State University told Ars. “They take their drug and have a negative outcome: get a DUI or crash their car. Most people learn from a bad outcome and don’t do it again, but someone with a substance use disorder continues to do that action.”
In the case of PSMU, someone might feel bad if they are unable to access social media for an extended period (withdrawal), or their use of social media might lead to losing a job, poor grades, or mental health issues.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration announced plans to rescind and replace a Biden-era rule regulating the export of high-end AI accelerator chips worldwide, Bloomberg and Reuters reported.
A Department of Commerce spokeswoman told Reuters that officials found the previous framework “overly complex, overly bureaucratic, and would stymie American innovation” and pledged to create “a much simpler rule that unleashes American innovation and ensures American AI dominance.”
The Biden administration issued the Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion in January during its final week in office. The regulation represented the last salvo of a four-year effort to control global access to so-called “advanced” AI chips (such as GPUs made by Nvidia), with a focus on restricting China’s ability to obtain tech that could enhance its military capabilities.
“We are an AI, robotics company,” Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced last April. Despite the fact that the company’s revenues are overwhelmingly derived from selling new electric vehicles, such prosaic activities hold no luster for the boss. Instead, Tesla’s future, according to Musk, depends upon a (claimed) sub-$30,000 driverless two-seater, revealed to the world last October in a staged demonstration on a film set. But Musk’s plans just hit a snag: The company must find some new names.
As spotted by Sean O’Kane at TechCrunch, the United States Patent and Trademark Office has informed Tesla that it will not be allowed to trademark the word “robotaxi” to describe the vehicle. According to the USPTO, the term is far too generic. Indeed, a Google n-gram search shows a steady growth in the use of “robotaxi” starting more than a decade ago.
According to the USPTO, the term is merely descriptive. The agency cites evidence from Wikipedia, The Verge, and the Amazon-backed autonomous vehicle startup Zoox in its denial of Tesla’s trademark application.
In an ideal world, you’d lead a long and happy life only ever shutting down and restarting your PC via the Start menu. Click the power icon, choose your option, and you’re done. However, life doesn’t always work out like we plan it, and sometimes you may need to trigger a restart or shutdown from the command prompt instead.
Maybe something is stopping the Start menu from working, or perhaps you find yourself on a screen where the Start menu isn’t available. One of the scenarios where I use the command prompt to shut down Windows is when I’m in the initial setup phase for the operating system and don’t want to complete it right away.
You might also have loaded the command prompt interface to try and troubleshoot a problem that’s stopping Windows from working—in which case you need to know how to power off or reboot your computer without pressing and holding the power button. (If you are having PC issues, see also this lesser-known emergency restart option.)
If you’re completely new to the command prompt, it’s the text-based interface hidden away in Windows, a remnant of the old days before computer operating systems had pointers and graphical user interfaces, and still useful for running a variety of low-level system operations.
The command prompt is also accompanied by PowerShell, which is a more modern and feature-rich version of this interface. As far as these shutdown and restart commands are concerned, you can use either for the job, but if you ever need to run more advanced text commands, scripts, and automations, PowerShell is better set up to accommodate them.
You can launch either the command prompt or PowerShell from the Start menu: Just type the first few letters of either utility into the search box at the top to find them. There are various other options too, like right-clicking on the Start menu button and choosing Terminal, or by typing “cmd” into the search box on the taskbar and hitting Enter.
The text command you need to either shut down or restart your Windows computer is ‘shutdown’. If you type it into the command prompt or PowerShell and then hit Enter, you’ll get a full description of shutdown, and all the ways you can use it (by the way, you can add “| more” to this or any command to see a page of text at a time).
The most basic flags you’ll need are “shutdown /s” and “shutdown /r” to power off and restart your computer, respectively. In both cases you’ll see a dialog box on screen telling you what’s happening, and the action is taken in less than a minute. These commands will initiate a normal shutdown process, so you’ll be prompted to save any unsaved work in your open programs that usually do that.
To force all apps to close without any further prompting—perhaps if you need to make sure the shutdown or restart goes through without a hitch—add the “/f” to the end of your command (so, either “shutdown /s /f” for a shutdown or “shutdown /r /f” for a restart). You do this at your own risk though, with the risk of losing data that hasn’t already been saved, and it’s probably best left as a last resort.
For troubleshooting purposes, the “shutdown /r /o” command is useful because it reboots your computer into the advanced boot options screen. That’s the one that gives you access to features such as using a USB drive to recover your PC, running the built-in start-up repair utility, and rolling back recent updates to Windows. You can also get back to the command prompt from here without starting the operating system.
Another flag that can be useful is the “/t” flag followed by a space and a number. This puts the shutdown or the restart on a delay, giving you time to close apps or finish downloads. The number is the number of seconds Windows should wait, and it can go from 0 (instant) all the way up to 315360000—that’s 10 years, if you were wondering. If the seconds are set to anything above zero, the “/f” flag is also applied.
One final one that you might find helpful: You can use “shutdown /a” to abort a shutdown that’s currently underway (perhaps one that you’ve set on a timer). For a full rundown of all the ways you can use this command, including some advanced options for IT managers (such as remote shutdowns), check out the official Microsoft documentation.
Modded by the Italians of Youtube channel Carmagheddon, this is what is believed to be the world’s shortest wheelbase car, a chopped FIAT Panda. The wheelbase is so short that pressing the brakes causes the car to attempt a headstand. That’s fun. And by fun I mean dangerous, which is fun for some people. Just not me, I find boredom exhilarating. When the internet goes out I’m in my prime.
Google’s latest Android Security Bulletin patches 46 security vulnerabilities impacting Android devices, one of which is a zero-day flaw in FreeType that may be under “limited, targeted exploitation.”
The security update for May includes fixes for a range of issues: most are an elevation of privilege flaws, though there are a few information disclosure and denial of service vulnerabilities and one remote code execution bug. All are considered high severity. May’s patch also addresses vulnerabilities with Qualcomm, MediaTek, Arm, and Imagination Technologies components.
The zero-day addressed with the latest update is a remote code execution flaw labeled CVE-2025-27363. It impacts FreeType, an open-source font rendering library, and allows attackers to exploit how the program processes certain files. The bug affects FreeType versions 2.13.0 and below and was first reported by security researchers at Facebook in March 2025, though details as to how it has been exploited have not been disclosed.
If you have an Android device, you should get a notification to install the latest security update as soon as it’s available. Google pushes patches to Pixel phones and the core Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code, while other device manufacturers—Samsung, Motorola, and Nokia—typically issue updates around the same time.
This month’s patches apply to AOSP versions 13, 14, and 15, with separate updates dated 2025-05-01 and 2025-05-05 (the latter addresses all of the flaws identified). Note that Google ended support for Android 12 as of March 31, meaning devices running this and older versions won’t receive security updates even though they may be affected by some of the vulnerabilities.
If you’re not sure whether your device has been patched, check for available updates via Settings > Security & privacy > System & updates > Security update and follow the prompts to download and install.
Switzerland will hold a national referendum on the introduction of electronic identity cards after opponents of the legislation secured enough signatures to force a public vote. The Federal Chancellery confirmed Wednesday that 55,344 valid signatures were submitted against the Federal Act on Electronic Identity passed last December.
The proposed e-ID would enable citizens to apply online for criminal record extracts, driving licenses, and age verification when purchasing alcohol. This marks the second referendum on e-ID implementation, after voters rejected a previous version in 2021. The government has revised its approach, making the new system free, optional, and fully state-operated rather than privately managed. If approved, the e-ID would come into force no earlier than 2026, though the collection effort suggests privacy concerns remain paramount for many Swiss voters.

After more than a week of teasing it on social media, Whoop has finally announced the release of its 5.0 device, along with a version called the “MG” (medical grade) that can do ECG readings and estimate blood pressure. Members can upgrade for a $49 fee or by extending their membership in one of the three new membership tiers: One ($199/year), Peak ($239/year, similar to current offerings) or Life ($359/year).
Whoop is the screenless fitness tracker that earned four stars in my review of the 4.0 model for its integrated fitness and recovery tracking and its handling of strength training. It’s only available by subscription, with the hardware being sort of a bonus that comes with membership. That means upgrades to the hardware are handled a bit differently than for a device you outright purchase; more on that below.
The 5.0 device looks a lot like the 4.0, but Whoop calculates that it is 7% smaller. This change means that straps and other accessories from the 4.0 won’t fit the new device. (Longstanding members with more than 1,500 recoveries will receive a “Milestone collection” box with extra bands.)
The 5.0 has a 14-day battery life, the company says, more than double that of the 4.0. There is also a new power pack (the battery that you slide on to charge the device while you wear it). Only members of the Peak and Life tiers will get the wireless power pack; the lowest tier membership comes with a wired charger.
Otherwise, the 5.0 hardware is similar to the previous edition, but with internal upgrades—a 60% faster processor, the company says, and “enhanced sensors.”
The MG (“medical grade”) Whoop device adds the ability to take an ECG from your wrist, in much the same way as an Apple Watch or Fitbit (you’ll touch metal contacts with the fingers of your other hand while wearing it).
The MG device comes with a Whoop Life membership, the most expensive tier at $359/year.
The three new membership tiers are One ($199/year), Peak ($239/year), and Life ($359/year). One is a stripped-down membrership, Peak is similar to what Whoop users have right now, and Life is a new offering with extra health features. Here’s the breakdown:
One is the budget membership. You get a wired charger instead of the wireless power pack, and a “CoreKnit” band, which seems to be a new material that isn’t as nice as the SuperKnit bands offered with the higher tiers.
If you downgrade to this level, you’ll lose a few features that Whoop members currently all get: the Health Monitor (with its readings of HRV, respiratory rate, resting heart rate, and skin temperature) or the Stress Monitor, which tells you in real time how much stress you seem to be under.
Peak is the most similar to the single subscription level that was offered with the 4.0, both in price and features. If your subscription renews without you choosing a tier, you’ll end up on Peak.
You’ll also get the new Healthspan feature (coming soon) that tells you your “Whoop age” and your “pace of aging,” and gives recommendations to improve those metrics.
Life is the top tier membership, and comes with the MG rather than 5.0 hardware. It includes everything in Peak, including the Healthspan feature.
With the MG you’ll be able to take ECG readings, and Whoop is also introducing a feature (currently in beta) to estimate your blood pressure. You’ll need to calibrate it with readings from a blood pressure cuff to start using it.
If you’re currently a Whoop member, and were looking forward to upgrading your hardware for free (as the Whoop FAQ states), here’s the fine print.
Whoop tells me that members who pay for another 12 months of membership will get the 5.0 (or MG) hardware for free. So if you’re six months into your current membership, you can buy a 12-month extension, thus having 18 months left on your membership, and get a new device.
If you don’t want to extend your membership, you can opt to pay a $49 upgrade fee to get the 5.0 device to use on your current membership term.
Whoop says that when you upgrade, they’ll send you a “gift kit” that you can use to pass along your old 4.0 device to a friend. It includes a sanitizing wipe and a fresh SuperKnit band.
Whoop memberships will still work with the 4.0 device, and you’ll still get access to everything the Peak membership offers, including the new Healthspan feature when it comes out. If your membership renews without you choosing a tier, you’ll be rolled into the Peak membership.
Updated 5/8/2025 at 3:30pm to note that the age metric is called “Whoop age” and not “fitness age.”
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is aggressively promoting a future where AI becomes the dominant form of social interaction, claiming that AI friends, therapists, and business agents will soon outnumber human relationships. During a recent media blitz across multiple podcasts and a Stripe conference appearance, Zuckerberg cited statistics suggesting “the average American has fewer than three friends” while claiming people desire “meaningfully more, like 15 friends” — positioning AI companions as the solution to this gap.
The Meta founder’s vision extends beyond casual interaction to therapeutic and commercial relationships, with personalized AI that “has a deep understanding of what’s going on in this person’s life.” Meta has already deployed its AI across Instagram, Facebook, and Ray-Ban smart glasses, reaching nearly a billion monthly users.

If you’ve been meaning to add a security camera to your backyard, driveway, or any dimly lit spot around the house, the Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera might be the kind of no-fuss solution that works. It’s battery powered, which makes it a standout for renters or anyone who doesn’t want to mess with wiring or hiring an electrician. And at $64.99 on Amazon—down from $129.98—it’s currently sitting at its lowest price to date (according to price-trackers), making it easier to justify trying out a new piece of tech without overcommitting.
You’re looking at a completely wire-free setup with motion-triggered floodlights and a built-in camera—all powered by four D-cell batteries and two AAs (meaning it can go pretty much anywhere wifi reaches). That alone makes it worth considering if you’ve got areas around your home where power outlets just don’t exist, notes this ZDNet review. The floodlight automatically turns on when it detects motion, shining up to 700 lumens—plenty to light up dark driveways, side yards, or alleyways. The camera itself captures 1080p video with infrared night vision, and according to PCMag’s review, it handled detection pretty well, especially once fine-tuned in the app.
Keep in mind, Blink’s full set of features—like cloud storage, video history, and smart alerts—are tied to its subscription plans, which start at $3 per month for one device and $10 per month for unlimited devices. A free 30-day trial is included (so you can test out those features without pressure), but after that, you’ll need to pay if you want ongoing access to clips and advanced features. You can also store your clips locally by connecting a USB flash drive (sold separately) to the included Sync Module 2. If you’re looking for something with constant recording or a wired connection for uninterrupted power, this isn’t the pick for you. But if you’re piecing together an affordable, wire-free security setup, this one has the basics covered.
Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates ratcheted up his feud with Elon Musk, accusing the world’s richest man of “killing the world’s poorest children” through what he said were misguided cuts to US development assistance.
Gates, who is announcing a plan to accelerate his philanthropic giving over the next 20 years and close down the Gates Foundation altogether in 2045, said in an interview that the Tesla chief had acted through ignorance.
In February, Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) in effect shut down the US Agency for International Development, the main conduit for US aid, saying it was “time for it to die.”
