Bill Gates Ghosts India Summit Like It's His DMs After Epstein Email Leak

KEY POINTS

  • •Bill Gates canceled his keynote appearance at India’s AI Impact Summit just hours before he was scheduled to speak.
  • •His decision followed renewed scrutiny from Justice Department-released emails involving Jeffrey Epstein, including claims related to an STD medication request.
  • •The Gates Foundation reassured that Ankur Vora gave the speech and their commitment to health and development goals in India remains strong.

Bill Gates bailed on the India AI Impact Summit just hours before his keynote, proving even billionaires ghost when the spotlight gets too hot. The Microsoft cofounder’s no-show came amid fresh weirdness from 3 million Justice Department emails tied to Jeffrey Epstein, including an eyebrow-raising message hinting Gates requested an STD med for his ex-wife Melinda. The Gates Foundation politely nudged Ankur Vora to fill in, hoping India stayed focused on AI and not the mounting Epstein side-plot. Meanwhile, they insisted the Foundation’s dedication to Indian health goals remained as firm as Bill's WiFi excuse.
