> dedicated to improving his image and the image of the source of his wealth (Microsoft.)

Why? Can't find the more recent value, but by 2017 he was down to ~1% stake and he was effectively transferring the amounts sold to the foundation. Why would he care significantly about the image of MS at this point?

The last significant article mentioning Gates and Microsoft I can find is him departing the board in March. And not a lot before that either. Can you point at his significant MS PR?



The point of PR is to not be obvious.

And of course he would be interested in making MS look better, it’s the source of his wealth and will forever be associated with him.


Yet, you claim this is obviously happening. Can you point at some proof that there's heavy Gates -> MS PR campaign happening?


Gates and the Gates Foundation have hired numerous PR firms for various issues. Google it.

If you seriously think that one of the richest men in the world doesn't do the same thing for the sources of his wealth, I don’t know what to tell you.
