Actually, neither capitalism nor democracy, he says

Bill Gates says that capitalism cannot save us from climate change

He is rich and powerful only because capitalist democracy made him so.

He and many of his class want to change the world in ways most people oppose, at a price most are unwilling to pay, at a pace most are unwilling to adopt.

So, he says, capitalism and democracy "can't save us" - meaning they are in his way.

And those who share his aspirations agree.
