Musk is still angry! Former TSL was shorted, Twitter cursed Bill Gates bankrupt

Has X become a cursed platform? Leader of D.O.G.E, Musk, used the internet to directly attack Bill Gates on X. Musk said if TSL becomes the world's most valuable company, Microsoft's co-founder Bill Gates would go bankrupt. TSL's current market capitalization is 1.25 trillion US dollars, still far behind Apple's 3.729 trillion US dollars. To reach the top spot, TSL needs to grow by nearly 200%.

The Tesla Economics post retweeted by Musk is translated as follows:

That's why from day one you have to give Bill Gates a big 'Fxxx you'.

A few years ago, when our company was at its weakest, Gates placed a huge bet on Tesla's demise, which would also cause the stock to fall for retail investors.

To my knowledge, Gates is still making huge short bets on Tesla. Someone should ask him if he should be doing this.

Gates was hypocritical and self-aware, and he had the courage to ask me to donate money for his main "window beautification cause." (Note: Pun intended, Window Dressing Environmental Causes satirizes Microsoft's Window)

Wanting money while wishing for Tesla's death and earning 500 million US dollars at the same time, it's really unbelievable.

The enmity between Musk and Gates

The feud between Musk and Bill Gates began when Gates shorted Tesla's stock. According to the content of the Musk biography published by biographer and journalist Walter Isaacson in 2023, Gates' shorting of Tesla caused him to lose $1.5 billion.

When Gates was asked about the issue of shorting Tesla stock in an interview with CNBC in 2021, he declined to comment on his position but praised Tesla's achievements, saying Tesla has done a great job.

In March 2022, Gates and Musk discussed charity and climate change at the TSL Austin factory, and the tension reached its peak. According to Walter Isaacson's book, Gates once apologized for the awkwardness, but Musk still couldn't extinguish his anger. Musk believes that shorting the electric car company by those who have long followed climate change is hypocritical behavior. TSL's electric cars and developed solar energy efforts for environmental protection, but Bill Gates wants to short TSL, making Musk feel that Gates is a hypocrite.

Musk told biographer Walter Isaacson, how could someone claim to be passionate about addressing climate change but want to reduce investment in TSL.

This time, Musk is fully assisting Trump's election, even shadow government DOGE is preparing to rule the country as a specific tycoon, making America great again without repeating words. Under the close cooperation of Musk and Trump, TSL stocks have experienced another big pump, soaring 56.9% this year. In the past, Musk was an enemy of Trump because Trump often called climate change a century-old scam, which happened to hit TSL's business. Now, things are different. Trump's election has turned former enemies into partners, and now they are targeting Microsoft and Bill Gates. This has hit Gates, who has been committed to environmental protection for years. In recent years, there have been many doubts about climate change and green environmental protection. Global climate warming can be felt in terms of perceived temperature, but whether to donate money to develop green energy-saving and environmental protection enterprises depends on whether everyone has enough money in their pockets.
