Other people need to consume less of course, not him. Poor guy only plans to have 1% of his vast fortune one day, maybe.

Edit: Though Gates doesn't seem to think anybody really needs to consume less, or at least he doesn't think that is going to happen.

That’s right he doesn’t. He believes that we have to transition to clean energy, not reduce consumption particularly as developing countries catch up with the west. That makes sense unless we expect developing countries to not catch up.
