The SpaceX sensei is literally slicing left and right with his two-edged tweets. Latest victim being former number one and currently the third richest in the world – Microsoft founder Bill Gates. A leaked chat between Musk and Gates seems to suggest that Gates had allegedly shorted Tesla stock by half a billion dollars!
Elon Musk has confirmed that Bill Gates has a $500M short position against $TSLA

Twitterati named ‘Whole Mars Blog’ posted screen shots of the leaked exchange between the world’s richest duo. The message doesn’t seem to end on a good note as Bill asks Elon to drop in some penny for philanthropy for Climate Change. Evidently Elon Musk doesn’t take the climate change campaign seriously. He seemed more miffed about Gates shorting his Tesla stocks than some iceberg melting somewhere. Gates has earlier criticised Tesla and electric vehicles as detrimental to climate change. Bill Gates is also critical of Bitcoins of which Musk is an avid proponent (including memecoins).
So apparently Bill Gates hit up @elonmusk to discuss “philanthropy on climate change” but Elon asked if he still had a half billion dollar short position on $TSLA.
Bill said he hasn’t closed it out, so Elon told him to get lost. No idea if this is true lol pic.twitter.com/iuHkDG3bAd

Speaking of Philanthropy, Musk has an altogether different idea of altruism as revealed in his recent TED talk with Chris Anderson

Confirming the leaked chats to be genuine, Musk stated that he didn’t leak it to the NYT. He also seemed livid by Bill Gates offensive manoeuvre . Musk remarked that this is not exactly a top secret in the industry.
Yeah, but I didn’t leak it to NYT. They must have got it through friends of friends.
I heard from multiple people at TED that Gates still had half billion short against Tesla, which is why I asked him, so it’s not exactly top secret.
Elon being Elon taking a jibe at Bill Gates tweeted the following . Good goly gosh! 🤦♀️

Opinionated netizens seem divided by the whole Musk vs Gates debacle.
Ever notice that democrats complain about Elon Musk trying to buy Twitter,
but have nothing to say as Bill Gates purchases hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland across 19 states?
Musk is slaying all the former tech gods, and claiming his throne. The Jesus of the Anti-woke. Amen
Bill Gates has a $500 million short against @elonmusk’s Tesla. With that money he could’ve bought every American a Porsche Taycan and a really long charging cable.

Hey @elonmusk, can you also buy the WHO? It is currently owned by Bill Gates.

This is such an unfortunate tweet by someone I otherwise have tremendous respect for.
Many will now think it’s OK to publicly bully those around them. If the richest man in the world does it, it must be OK, right? Bill Gates can handle it. Others not so much.
Really bad look.
Meanwhile
The rumor that Bill Gates & I are lovers is completely untrue
Billionaires cannot be buddies. That’s for sure!
