Serious question: When did he become a credible source for anything?

He had giant balls of steel dropping out of college, selling IBM an OS he didn't own, and then getting the OS owner to sell his that OS. He was first to the market, did nothing alone, and created what was essentially a monopoly. All awesome things.

However, how does that make him an expert on personal finance, the stock market, C-19, Common Core, and so on?

CNN has a Gates related headline daily. Is it because he actually knows his shit or simply because he's far left politically?

Well, he's smarter than you, and the $$$/resources to have other people figure things out, in theory. Like Batman without the cool toys.

True, but don't you feel like we're on the road to it?
