I’m not sure if this is true, but I’ve seen people on social media use it to suggest Gates is trying to control the food supply. I’d like to fact-check it to see how much farmland he actually owns, and what that means in context. I saw this claim in a tweet that was going viral in 2024 and linked to an article on The Gateway Pundit , and later heard it mentioned on a podcast.
