<p>Former Microsoft CEO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-gates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Gates</a> joined the hosts of ABC News&#8217; &#8220;The View&#8221; on Tuesday in their collective panic over billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and other tech CEOs who appeared to be at least warming to President Donald Trump in his second term in the White House.</p>
<p>Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the conversation by complaining about the youth and lack of formal education represented among the team that Musk had put together, saying, &#8220;Are Americans going to be okay with Musk, a guy nobody voted for, having all this kind of power? You know the news outlet Wired found out six of the gentlemen on Elon Musk’s team are between the ages of 19 to 24 with little or no government experience and no one is in college.&#8221;</p>
<p>What Goldberg left out was the fact that all six of the young men mentioned in the <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-government-young-engineers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wired article</a> — despite their lack of formal education — had experience in tech and had distinguished themselves as above average in their fields.</p>

<p>Sara Haines then asserted that the actions being taken by the Trump administration to cut wasteful spending were &#8220;illegal&#8221; and violated the constitutional separation of powers.</p>
<p>Goldberg pivoted a short time later to introduce Gates, complaining about the apparent &#8220;rightward&#8221; shift among the most powerful voices in tech, saying, &#8220;It seems like today&#8217;s tech billionaires are shifting rightward and seem to have more power than even the VP, whose name I can&#8217;t remember.&#8221;</p>

<p>Gates pointed out that tech CEOs were not a monolith, but then proceeded to poke fun at those like Meta&#8217;s Mark Zuckerberg, who had attended Trump&#8217;s second inauguration: &#8220;You know, they clearly wanted to fund the inauguration. They wanted it to be a great inauguration, just for the good of the country, no doubt.&#8221;</p>
<p>When asked about his own recent meeting with Trump, Gates said that he felt as though they&#8217;d had a good conversation on a number of topics, including &#8220;global health issues, particularly HIV and Polio.&#8221;</p>
