There are many now from the tech industry, quite a few with politics that skew <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/18\/magazine\/trump-donors-silicon-valley.html\" title=\"\">forcefully right<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI always thought of Silicon Valley as being left of center,\u201d Mr. Gates said. \u201cThe fact that now there is a significant right-of-center group is a surprise to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Or take the evolution of technology in the decades since he began Microsoft and made it one of the world\u2019s most valuable companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIncredible things happened because of sharing information on the internet,\u201d Mr. Gates said. That much he anticipated. But once social media companies like Facebook and Twitter came along, \u201cyou see ills that I have to say I did not predict.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Political divisiveness accelerated by technology? \u201cI didn\u2019t predict that would happen,\u201d he said. Technology being used as a weapon against the broader public interests? \u201cI didn\u2019t predict that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Gates is a techno-optimist but he has limits, like cryptocurrency. Does it have any use?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNone,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are people with high I.Q.s who have fooled themselves on that one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even artificial intelligence, which Mr. Gates has spoken of enthusiastically, and which <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/14\/technology\/microsoft-ai-satya-nadella.html\" title=\"\">Microsoft is heavily invested in<\/a>, produces a few qualms. \u201cNow we have to worry about bad people using A.I.,\u201d he said. (The New York Times has sued Microsoft and its partner OpenAI over copyright infringement; the companies have denied the claims.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Gates, who turns 70 this year, is looking back a lot these days. Next week he is publishing \u201cSource Code: My Beginnings,\u201d which examines his childhood. The first of three projected volumes of memoirs, the book has been in the works for at least a decade but arrives at an unusual moment, as the tech billionaires have been unleashed. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/10\/technology\/meta-mark-zuckerberg-trump.html\" title=\"\">Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> \u2014 their success has given them power that they are enthusiastically, even gleefully, using in divisive ways.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-small css-1189og3 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-13ytnnu ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-jevhma e13ogyst0\">\u201cSource Code: My Beginnings,\u201d which examines Bill Gates\u2019s childhood, is the first of three projected volumes of memoirs.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Thirty years ago, Mr. Gates created the model for the in-your-face tech billionaire. Microsoft in the 1990s supplied the operating system for the personal computers that were increasingly in every home and office, and the company had big plans for this new thing called the web. Mr. Gates and his company were perceived as powerful, ruthless and ubiquitous. Silicon Valley was terrified and even regulators were alarmed, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/atr\/complaint-us-v-microsoft-corp\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">suing Microsoft<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The anti-Microsoft sentiment in popular culture peaked with the 2001 movie \u201cAntitrust,\u201d about a tech chief executive who murders people in his quest for world domination. Reviewers underlined <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerebert.com\/reviews\/antitrust-2001\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the allusions to Mr. Gates<\/a>, although they largely panned the film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The ire is long gone and Mr. Gates has no recollection of \u201cAntitrust.\u201d Among billionaires who generate strong emotions, he said with a hint of relief, \u201cI\u2019m not at the top of the list. The current tech titans would elicit a stronger negative reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He is a counterpoint to the moguls in the news. \u201cWe don\u2019t have a club,\u201d he said. \u201cNor do we have consensus. Reid Hoffman\u201d \u2014 the co-founder of LinkedIn, a Microsoft board member and vocal supporter of former Vice President Kamala Harris \u2014 \u201cis a billionaire. You can ask for his point of view. He\u2019ll be glad to critique.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hoffman, who The Times <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/27\/us\/politics\/democratic-donors-reid-hoffman-democracy-alliance.html\" title=\"\">reported<\/a> in November was considering leaving the country after Ms. Harris\u2019s election loss, did not respond to emails asking for his point of view. But plenty of others in Silicon Valley are watching the transformation of the billionaires into would-be overlords with a horrified fascination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s a steady subject of dismal conversation around here,\u201d said Paul Saffo, a longtime tech forecaster. \u201cThe consensus is that Bill Gates looks sainted compared to the awfulness afoot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When we talked a few weeks ago, Mr. Gates was sitting on the other side of an office table in a rented suite in Indian Wells, Calif., next to the resort town of Palm Springs. Why were we here? It was cold in Seattle, still Mr. Gates\u2019s home when he is not on the move. That was reason enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite giving many billions of dollars to the Gates Foundation, his philanthropic juggernaut, Mr. Gates remains the 12th-richest person in the world, with personal wealth of over $100 billion, according to Forbes. But his physique isn\u2019t jacked, he does not have <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/17\/technology\/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-elon-musk.html\" title=\"\">his own rocket fleet<\/a>, and he seems eager to point out that he does not have all the answers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After we spoke, Mr. Gates was going to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/09\/us\/politics\/jimmy-carter-funeral.html\" title=\"\">President Carter\u2019s funeral<\/a>. President Carter was an inspiration and a partner; Mr. Gates\u2019s foundation became a big funder of the Carter Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In some respects, they resembled each other. Mr. Gates and Mr. Carter each had two distinct careers, both of which took place in the public eye over years. After Mr. Carter was president, he spent more than 40 years doing good works at home and abroad. That second act tended to be reviewed more favorably than the first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">So too with Mr. Gates, although his divorce from Melinda French Gates in 2021 was a decided setback for his reputation. There was also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/10\/12\/business\/jeffrey-epstein-bill-gates.html\" title=\"\">an unseemly relationship<\/a> with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIn India, Japan, China, the American dream is a vaunted thing, of which I am sort of an example,\u201d Mr. Gates said. \u201cAnd then there\u2019s people who think there shouldn\u2019t be billionaires. There\u2019s people who think I use vaccines to kill children. There\u2019s quite a range of opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-51d652f3\">Should billionaires be outlawed?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Gates is the opposite of the reclusive billionaire hidden away on his estate. He recently brought out his second <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/tudum\/articles\/whats-next-future-bill-gates-release-date-trailer-news\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Netflix series<\/a>, \u201cWhat\u2019s Next? The Future With Bill Gates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The fourth of the five episodes, \u201cCan You Be Too Rich?\u201d had people, including Senator Bernie Sanders, the democratic socialist from Vermont, saying definitively yes. It was a mild but real form of self-criticism that few other billionaires would subject themselves to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Working on the show didn\u2019t change his mind, though. \u201cShould we outlaw billionaires?\u201d Mr. Gates asked. \u201cMy answer to that, and you can say I\u2019m biased, is no.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But he supports a tax system that is more progressive. Every year, he adds up the taxes he has paid over his lifetime. He figures he has paid $14 billion, \u201cnot counting sales tax.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Under a better system, he calculates, he would have paid $40 billion. Released in September, \u201cCan You Be Too Rich?\u201d already seems from another era. The answer to Mr. Gates\u2019s question, in an administration staffed by billionaires, is no.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Gates tries to be nonpolitical but he thought the consequences of the 2024 election were so significant he got involved financially for the first time. He gave $50 million to Future Forward, the principal outside fund-raising group supporting Ms. Harris, The Times <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/22\/us\/elections\/bill-gates-future-forward-kamala-harris.html\" title=\"\">reported in October<\/a>. He didn\u2019t talk publicly about it then and won\u2019t now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After our conversation, it came out that he had a three-hour dinner with the president-elect at the time, Donald J. Trump, about world health challenges like H.I.V. and polio. \u201cHe showed a lot of interest in the issues I brought up,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/policy\/bill-gates-donald-trump-meeting-e54fc20d?mod=article_inline\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mr. Gates told The Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This week the Trump administration <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/27\/health\/pepfar-trump-freeze.html\" title=\"\">created confusion<\/a> over whether it would stop disbursing H.I.V. medications bought with U.S. aid. A spokeswoman for Mr. Gates declined to comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI will engage this administration just like I did the first Trump administration as best I can,\u201d Mr. Gates said in our interview.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-5c56bff8\">A trial to his parents<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Writing an autobiography is another way Mr. Gates is different from his peers, few of whom seem so introspective. His childhood, in an upper-class enclave in Seattle in the 1960s and early 1970s, is not inherently dramatic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cA lot of people have the story of what a tough childhood they had, and how that is partly why they\u2019re so competitive,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t have that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">What he did have was his mother, Mary Gates. She was remarkably accomplished in an era when most upper-class women were encouraged by society to stay home. The first woman president of King County\u2019s United Way, she later was on the board of the United Way of America; in 1983, she was the first woman to run it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cShe was almost too intense for me,\u201d Mr. Gates said. His father, a lawyer, was more removed but was drawn into the battle of wills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There was a period when Bill \u2014 he was in sixth grade \u2014 was supremely difficult. \u201cI could go days without speaking, emerging from my room only for meals and school,\u201d he writes in \u201cSource Code.\u201d \u201cCall me to dinner, I ignored you. Tell me to pick up my clothes, nope. Clear the table \u2014 nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI was provoking them,\u201d he said in our interview. \u201cI didn\u2019t think they had any logic for why I had to show respect for them. My mom was pretty pushy about \u2018Eat this way,\u2019 and \u2018Have these manners,\u2019 and \u2018If you\u2019re going to use the ketchup you have to put the ketchup in a bowl and have to put the bowl here.\u2019 She thought of me as pretty sloppy. Because I was.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was not really about the ketchup, of course. \u201cI didn\u2019t have any negative feelings toward her but I could pretend to not care what she said in a way that definitely irritated her,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat was I trying to prove?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Parents then could not keep tabs on their children if the children were determined. His sister Kristi, he remembers, \u201cwas wary of what might go wrong. Whereas I\u2019m like, \u2018Hey, what could go wrong?\u2019\u201d Bill spent much of his time programming, often sneaking away at night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then something did go wrong, at the end of his junior year in high school. His best friend, Kent, was mountain climbing, fell and died.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was Kent being an independent thinker, pushing his limits,\u201d Mr. Gates said. \u201cHis parents worried about him and he was not naturally coordinated. And yet he seemed to be enjoying it and they didn\u2019t stand in his way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">What Mr. Gates learned from the tragedy was that life can be unfairly bad as well as unfairly good. He was very lucky; Kent was very unlucky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Gates said that if his teenage self were diagnosed now, he would probably be told he was on the spectrum. Maybe his mother intuitively understood what he needed. \u201cI wanted to exceed her expectations,\u201d he said. \u201cShe was pretty good at always raising the bar.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-12\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Raising the bar is what he consistently did when he and his friend Paul Allen started a company in Albuquerque in 1975 to produce software for the Altair 8800, a rudimentary personal computer. Mr. Gates was barely out of his teens. He soon moved the fledgling operation to the Seattle area, closer to his mother.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Stewart Alsop covered Mr. Gates when he was the editor of InfoWorld, an influential tech magazine of the era. \u201cBill gave the privilege of having dinner with him solo in Seattle every six months; the price was always coming up with something he hadn\u2019t thought of,\u201d Mr. Alsop said. \u201cThat was easy as \u201che had a hard time seeing the world outside of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-13\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If Mr. Gates is on the spectrum, he now thinks it gave Microsoft an edge. \u201cI didn\u2019t believe in weekends; I didn\u2019t believe in vacations,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2019\/06\/22\/bill-gates-on-making-one-of-the-greatest-mistakes-of-all-time\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he once said<\/a>. He knew the license plate numbers of his employees so he could check if they tried to go home. It was a model for thousands of tech start-ups to come.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-7a5f583\">On the downhill side<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-14\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSource Code\u201d ends with the beginning of Microsoft. Spreadsheets, databases and word processing were primitive tools, but users got an edge in productivity. The future would be better. \u201cWe really didn\u2019t see much downside,\u201d Mr. Gates said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He kept his optimism for a long time. In 2017, he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gatesnotes.com\/homo-deus\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">reviewed the book \u201cHomo Deus,\u201d by the Israeli philosopher<\/a> Yuval Noah Harari. Mr. Gates took issue with the author\u2019s warning about a potential future where the elite upgrade themselves through tech and the masses are left to rot. \u201cThis future is not preordained,\u201d Mr. Gates wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Now he is reading Mr. Harari\u2019s latest book. \u201cNexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to A.I.\u201d is a critical analysis of our reliance on technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-15\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEvery smartphone contains more information than the ancient Library of Alexandria and enables its owner to instantaneously connect to billions of other people throughout the world,\u201d Mr. Harari writes. \u201cYet with all this information circulating at breathtaking speeds, humanity is closer than ever to annihilating itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Gates took \u201cNexus\u201d personally. Mr. Harari \u201cmakes fun of people like myself who saw more information as always a good thing,\u201d Mr. Gates said. \u201cI would basically say he\u2019s right and I was wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">(Mr. Harari was unavailable for comment because he was attending a meditation course.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">To be clear, Mr. Gates is not apologizing. He remains a believer in the power and goodness of tech. But for all he resisted them initially, his mother\u2019s lessons are evidently still with him. Mind your manners. Try and do good. And try not to get carried away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As a billionaire, other people invest you with huge powers, Mr. Gates said.
