Elon Musk Bill Gates Tesla

The latest battle of the billionaires continues their history of disagreeing on many topics and issues.

Mr Musk said he responded because he had heard about Mr Gates' position on Tesla during a recent TED conference, but he was not the one who leaked to the media or anywhere else. It currently has a market capitalisation of about $1 trillion. Mr Musk and Mr Gates have a long history of disagreements on a number of topics, including on colonising Mars.

Elon Musk and Bill Gates are both incomprehensibly wealthy, but that didn't stop them from allegedly arguing over text.

He said it was real, but that he didn’t leak it. Gates confirms he does, brings up the possibility of the two doing philanthropic work together, and is promptly shut down by Musk for, uh, hoping Tesla fails. It all started earlier that evening, when an account called Whole Mars Catalog posted several screenshots allegedly showing a text exchange between Musk and Gates.

Musk even trolled Gates by sharing a distasteful meme on Twitter. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is known for his tongue-in-cheek humour. His tweets often invite trouble ...

The screenshots of the chats reveal that Gates messaged Musk to discuss philanthropy on climate change, but Musk shunned him by saying that he cannot take his proposal seriously when he has been shorting Tesla stocks. A slightly paunchy Gates is seen wearing a blue t-shirt in the picture, he looks starkly similar to the man in the emoji. Musk is now miffed with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates for allegedly shorting the stocks of Tesla. Interestingly for Musk, his conversation with Gates has gone viral on Twitter and later Musk even trolled him with a meme, which features Gates alongside an impregnated man.

The New York Times recently shared what appeared to be text messages between Elon Musk and Bill Gates where the former Microsoft CEO admits that he has a ...

This was an incredible admission on the part of the former Microsoft CEO, however, there were still doubts about the authenticity of the text message. If Musk wasn’t behind the leaks, then it begs the question who took the screenshots? However, at the beginning of the interview, Bill gates started out by discussing his successful investments in Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat and QuantumScape. However, on top of defending the Tesla Semi, Musk claimed there might be a more sinister reason behind Bill’s criticism of Tesla’s 18-wheeler. “I think what Elon has done with Tesla is fantastic, it is probably the biggest single contribution to showing us that electric cars are how we solve climate change.

Gates had reportedly asked Musk to meet with him to talk about "philanthropy on climate change." But when he did, Musk reportedly asked Gates if he still ...

"Sorry to say I haven't closed it out," Gates replied. Gates reportedly told Musk he hadn't closed that out, and was still holding a short. But when he did, Musk reportedly asked Gates if he still held a large short position on Tesla stock.

"I cannot take your philanthropy on climate change seriously when you have a massive short position against Tesla," Musk told Gates, per the texts.

Bill Gates is known for his involvement in philanthropy. He wanted Musk to join him on a new initiative. Gates asked him via a private message if Musk would ...

Musk replied and told Gates that he can’t take his climate plans “seriously” because he has a “massive short position against Tesla, the company doing the most to solve climate change.” The screenshots of the conversation appeared on Twitter. They were originally leaked by the New York Times, and Elon Musk also confirmed the discussion was real. That’s why they buy the shares with a loan, sell them on the open market, and buy them back again when they will be cheaper.

Elon Musk took a very public shot at Bill Gates, by invoking a new transgender-inclusive emoji.

Elon also argues that Tesla is doing a lot to mitigate climate change by investing in sustainable energy, so he sees Bill's position as hypocritical here. Before that, though, Elon asked him straight up ... you shorting my company, bro? Twitter Tweet Unavailable He followed up by jokingly tweeting a picture of cloaked figures coming together in a circle and writing, "shadow ban council reviewing tweet …" seemingly aware his OG tweet might be seen as offensive. Twitter Tweet Unavailable Elon's caption ... "in case u need to lose a b***r fast."

When asked on Twitter if a screenshot of text messages, allegedly between the two billionaires, was real, the Tesla CEO responded “yeah,” adding “but I didn't ...

The Tesla boss is apparently still miffed that the Microsoft founder shorted his stock.

In it, Gates appears to be hitting up Musk for a climate-change philanthropy initiative—but first, Musk has a question: The gibe came hours after Musk confirmed on Twitter the authenticity of screenshots that appeared to show him confronting Gates about his half-billion-dollar bet that Tesla stock would sink. If you thought Elon Musk had better things to do than insult Bill Gates on the social-media platform he is maybe trying to buy, you would be wrong.

The billionaire genius may well be saving the world through his electric vehicle (EV) company and he night help mankind one day live on Mars, but he's not ...

It was a cheap shot based not on Gates' actions (and aside from his Tesla short, Gates has lots of rumored recent actions that might be legitimate cause for Musk to poke fun at) but his physical appearance. The billionaire CEO of multiple companies, who has both rocket ships and equipment that can tunnel under the Earth under his command, shared an unflattering picture of Gates side-by-side with a pregnant man emoji. To paraphrase Michelle Obama, Musk went low and Gates went high.
