According to an exclusive Breitbart News report, Bill Gates funneled hundreds of millions of dollars from his foundation to 11 of the 26 organizations that signed a letter urging Twitter advertisers to boycott the platform if Elon Musk returns free speech to the social media network.
According to Breitbart News:
Breitbart News’ report, based on research and analysis from the newly-formed Foundation for Freedom Online (FFO), analyzed public filings to trace hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions from the letter signatories back to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
In total, 11 of the 26 anti-Musk organizations received funding from a Gates-backed entity.
The New Venture Fund, which in 2020 received the largest one-year commitment the Gates Foundation had made in more than half a decade, funds four of the signatories.
The signatories included:
The Center for Media Justice
The Media Democracy Fund
The National Hispanic Media Coalition (via the Media Democracy Fund)
Accountable Tech
The Tides Foundation, which receives money from the Gates Foundation, funded five other signatories: Free Press Indivisible, NARAL Pro-Choice America Media Matters, and Black Lives Matter Global Network.
The report also found two other signatories tied to the Gates Foundation, including the Empowering Pacific Islanders Community and Reproaction.
