ビルゲイツは貧困のために戦い、トランプとマスクは命綱を切る
00:12 Bill Gates just made a bold announcement. He says he plans to give away nearly all of his fortune — about 200 billion dollars — over the next 20 years. And after that, he plans to shut down the Gates Foundation completely by the end of 2045.
ビル・ゲイツが大胆な発表をしました。今後20年間で、約2,000億ドル、つまり自身のほぼすべての財産を寄付するというのです。その後、2045年末にはゲイツ財団も完全に解散する予定です。
00:29 He says he doesn’t want to die rich. “There are too many urgent problems in the world,” he wrote.
彼は「金持ちのまま死にたくない」と語り、「世界には今すぐ取り組むべき問題が山積している」とも述べました。
00:35 The Foundation will focus on three goals: preventing the deaths of mothers and babies, eradicating deadly diseases, and ending poverty for hundreds of millions of people.
財団の主な使命は3つです:母親と赤ちゃんの命を守ること、致命的な感染症をなくすこと、そして数億人を貧困から救うことです。
00:46 But there’s a problem. President Trump’s administration is cutting budgets for health and international aid programs —the very programs that the Gates Foundation supports.
しかし、問題もあります。トランプ政権は医療や国際援助の予算を削減しようとしており、それはまさにゲイツ財団が支援してきた分野なのです。
00:56 So Gates decided to speak out. In February, he met directly with President Trump to raise concerns about the cuts to USAID.
そこでゲイツは声を上げました。今年2月にはトランプ大統領と直接面会し、USAID(米国国際開発庁)の予算削減に懸念を表明しました。
01:06 But that’s not all. Gates also sharply criticized Elon Musk. He accused Musk of “killing the world’s poorest children” — because Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is pushing for those aid cuts. That’s a powerful accusation — one billionaire calling out another over global life-and-death issues.
しかし、それだけではありません。ゲイツはイーロン・マスク氏を強く批判し、「世界で最も貧しい子どもたちの命を奪っている」と非難しました。マスク氏が関与している政府効率化局が、援助削減を主導しているからです。これは非常に強い非難です。世界の命に関わる問題をめぐって、ビリオネア同士が真っ向から対立したのです。
01:26 Still, Gates remains hopeful. He believes AI, combined with philanthropy, can help solve big challenges faster than ever.
それでもゲイツは希望を持っています。彼は、AIと慈善活動の組み合わせが、これまで以上に早く世界の課題を解決できると信じています。
01:34 He wrote, “People will say many things when I die. But one thing they won’t say is: ‘He died rich.’”
ゲイツはこう記しています。「私が死んだとき、人はいろいろ言うだろう。でも『金持ちのまま死んだ』とは言わせない」
