Wait one god-damned minute. If this is true, and I have no reason to think it is not, why is this not another prominent arrow in the quiver of everyone who constantly has to point out how psychotic Gates and billionaires like him truly are? Jeebus Cripes, what an asshole Bill Gates was/is:

Bill’s face changes. And in just a matter of five minutes he’s losing it.

And he’s screaming at me, “YOU FUCKED HIM! YOU FUCKED HIM! YOU FUCKED HIM!” Spit — I’m not making this up — Spit is coming across the conference room table and landing on my glasses as he’s like, “YOU FUCKED HIM!” I have no idea what the hell he’s talking about

There are many accounts of how unhinged and abusive Gates was in Microsoft meetings, but this is just off the scale. Speechless.
