Mariners continued to face the risk of destruction on the submerged reef, and calls for a…

      71. Bill Gates Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Bill Gates and Elon Musk's meeting in early 2022, though coincidental, was charged with purpose, particularly as Gates sought to discuss philanthropy and climate change, drawn in part by Musk’s $5.7 billion donation to a fund supporting charitable causes.
