Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of X (formerly Twitter), recently claimed Gates could face financial trouble if Tesla\u2019s stock surged by 200%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The feud dates back to 2022, when Musk rejected a charitable proposal from Gates, accusing him of hypocrisy. Gates, who champions climate change initiatives, had reportedly shorted Tesla\u2019s stock\u2014betting against the success of a company focused on clean energy solutions. Although Gates apologized, their relationship soured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk reignited the dispute when someone shared a 2023 tweet highlighting Gates\u2019 short position. Musk suggested Gates\u2019 bet would only yield significant returns if Tesla went bankrupt. He criticized Gates for his environmental stance while financially undermining Tesla\u2019s mission to combat climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk\u2019s latest jab deepened the tension, suggesting Gates\u2019 financial position could be threatened if Tesla\u2019s valuation skyrocketed, potentially making it the most valuable company in the world. While the claim remains speculative, it underscores the ongoing clash between two of the world\u2019s most prominent billionaires. Time will reveal if Musk\u2019s bold prediction holds true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=37418\" title=\"\">also read&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk and Bill Gates\u2019 long-standing rivalry has flared up again.
