Bill Gates attended the Clippers‘ 103-88 win over the Lakers at the Intuit Dome on Saturday. Gates’ attending the basketball game was his first public apperance since he was featured in Thursday’s release of Epstein photos.
Independent journalist Pablo Torre broke the news to the community on Sunday in an X post. The journalist retweeted a post reporting on Gates’ involvement in the scandal.
Thanks for the submission!
“Bill Gates’ first high-profile appearance since Friday’s release of Epstein photos: Courtside between Clippers owners Steve Ballmer and Dennis Wong to watch the Clippers beat the Lakers, 103-88, at Intuit Dome on Saturday night,” Torre wrote in the caption.

The House Oversight Committee released multiple undated pictures from the Epstein files to the public on Thursday. Few pictures featured the Microsoft co-founder standing beside a female. The faces of the females were censored to keep their identities anonymous.
The pictures come as a precursor to s broadder release of the Epsien files. The Trump administration is required to make the files public by Friday under Federal Law. These files are expected to shed broader light on the authorities’ investigation into Epstein and the high-profile names connected to him.
Bill Gates has a long-standing relationship with Steve Ballmer. The Clippers owner served as Microsoft CEO from 2000 to 2014 after Gates walked away from the company.
Mark Cuban once joked with Bill Gates about the Luka Doncic trade
Mark Cuban once joked with Bill Gates after the Mavericks traded away Luka Dončić. The Mavs minority owner joined the Microsoft co-founder on Gates’ “Source Code: My Beginnings” on Feb. 7 in Richardson, Texas.
“I wanted to start off with a question, because you’ve been in unique situations, and maybe you can help,” Cuban said. “If after you left Microsoft, you found out that Steve Ballmer traded Windows 11, like the new hot operating system, for Windows 10, the Hall-of-Fame but older operating system, what would you do?”
The audience laughed at Cuban’s question before Bill Gates gave his answer.
“I might have to hide from the press,” Gates replied.
Later, the Mavs’ minority owner said that he knew a few people who were hiding from the press. Cuban’s question was a reference to the Luka Doncic trade that the Mavs pulled off in February.
Former Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison was behind the trade that brought in Anthony Davis to Dallas in exchange for sending Doncic to LA.
