Elon Musk To Bill Gates: “I cannot take your philanthropy on climate change seriously…”

Elon Musk is making Twitter fun again…

Heck, he’s making the Internet fun again!

The man is unfiltered and unintimidated and he reminds me a lot of Trump in those regards.

He’s also filthy rich, many magnitudes richer than Trump, which is very interesting.

And he seems to be using that money for good and not part of the “Cabal”.

I suppose that remains to be fully seen, but all evidence points to Elon being very based and not “woke”.

The latest?

His snub of Bill Gates.

You just gotta love this.

News broke today that Bill Gates approached Elon to invest in his “climate change philanthropic venture” and Musk declined.

Here was the post:

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

Musk was asked on Twitter if the texts were authentic and he confirmed they are:

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.

Here is a zoom-in to read the messages

Elon is the green:

I love him calling Gates out to his face.

While Gates shorts his company and it’s efforts on sustainable energy, he has the gall to ask Elon for a donation.

Elon called him out and told him no, and it’s the best thing I’ve seen all day.

Then he later posted this, which may be the most savage thing I have ever seen posted on the Internet by a famous person, even including President Trump:

And in case that gets deleted by Twitter, a screenshot:

I mean, this was literally Tweeted out by the world’s richest man in a savage burn of a formerly-world’s richest man who is (allegedly) trying to kill us all with his jabs.

And Elon is going straight at him.

God bless you Elon!

Musk later joked that his Tweet was under review by the Shadow Ban Council:

Here is more from Yahoo News:

Elon Musk on Friday said texts that show he turned down a philanthropic opportunity with Bill Gates over the latter’s short position on Tesla are legitimate.

Screenshots of the texts were shared on Twitter by an account called Whole Mars Catalog that tagged Musk and asked if they were real.

The origin of the screenshots was not immediately clear, though the color of the text message boxes suggests they were taken on Musk’s phone.

The first screenshot appears to show a text from Gates confirming a day and time to meet, to which Musk responds “Great.” Another screenshot shows a text, supposedly from Gates, saying “just landed” and Musk responding “cool.”

Musk then sent a follow up text, writing: “Do you still have a half billion dollar short position against Tesla?”

“Sorry to say I haven’t closed it out,” Gates responded, according to the screenshots, adding: “I would like to discuss philanthropy possibilities.”

Musk replied: “Sorry, but I cannot take your philanthropy on climate change seriously when you have a massive short position against Tesla, the company doing the most to solve climate change.”

A short position typically means an investor sells a stock they’ve borrowed with the goal of buying it back later at a lower price, essentially betting that the stock’s value will fall.

In response to the screenshots, Musk tweeted that they were real but that he did not leak them, adding they must have gotten out “through friends of friends.”

Musk added: “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.”

It was unclear when the text exchange took place, but Musk said on Joe Rogan’s podcast in February 2021 that he heard Gates was betting against Tesla in the stock market.

Curious to know what everyone else thinks of Elon…

Good guy?

Unknown at this point?

Secretly a member of the “club”?
