The Spin

Narrative A

Gates should never have been invited to India's AI summit in the first place given his prominent appearance in Epstein files and lack of clearance from any investigation. The Modi government's decision to host someone with such serious unresolved controversies shows pitiful moral rot. Social media pressure forcing this last-minute withdrawal proves India's AI and technological future deserves better than this tainted association.

Narrative B

Gates has clearly stated he regrets every minute spent with Epstein and only attended dinners focused on philanthropic fundraising for global health. The meetings ended in 2014; Gates never visited Epstein's island or met any women, and allegations like the fabricated email are absolutely absurd and completely false. More evidence will only clarify that while the association was a mistake, it had nothing to do with any wrongdoing.
