Warp speed 2.0
In late December 2024 or early 2025, Bill Gates had a three-hour dinner with Trump, which he described as "long and actually quite intriguing." Gates said he spoke a lot about "HIV and that the foundation's literally working on a cure for that. We're at an early stage, and so, you know, he, in the COVID days, accelerated the vaccine innovation, in Operation Warp Speed. "So I was asking him if maybe the same kind of thing could be done here, and we both got, I think, pretty excited about that." Gates also met with Trump in 2016, ahead of his first presidential term.[1][2]
Heritage Foundation
Overseen by the conservative Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 is a multi-pronged initiative which includes a detailed blueprint for how to usher in a sweeping overhaul of the executive branch. It was led by two former Trump administration officials: Paul Dans, who was chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management and director of the project, and Spencer Chretien, former special assistant to Trump and the project's associate director.[3]
