He didn't mention Gates or charity at all.

It's like if you said, "I like ice cream" and I reported it as, "This person thinks buying ice cream is more noble than giving a starving family a bag of rice."



OK I understand now. I read this sentence in the article:

...suggesting that when he passes away, he’d like for his billions to go to Tesla’s Musk.

Although leaving your billions to X implies not leaving it to Y -- e.g. Gates -- that's not necessarily true.

And more basically, this is the article writer's sentence -- not a quote from Larry Page.

I was wrong. Thank you for helping me understand why.
