A private exchange between Bill Gates and Elon Musk has gone public after Gates made a sarcastic jab at Musk’s struggling Tesla sales. At a closed-door tech summit, Gates quipped, “Well, at least you’re doing your best to help with America’s population crisis—fewer Teslas on the road means fewer future drivers. Efficiency!” The remark seemed to reference Tesla’s declining sales, Gates’ history with population-related philanthropy, and Musk’s concern about declining birth rates, especially given his own large family.
Musk, visibly angered by the comment, reportedly fired back, warning Gates: “Careful, Bill. I could air all the hidden truths about what your ‘foundations’ really fund. Let’s not do this.” This threat hinted at Musk exposing Gates’ connections to Big Pharma, his investments in controversial climate initiatives, and his alleged ties to elite “depopulation” conspiracy theories.
The feud between the two tech giants could escalate quickly. Musk has long resented Gates’ criticism and actions, including Gates shorting Tesla stock in 2022. Musk vowed then that Gates would regret it, and now, he could use his influence to expose sensitive information about Gates’ philanthropic and business dealings.
If Musk goes through with his threat, the fallout could be significant. Leaked information could lead to SEC investigations, stock crashes, or other damaging consequences. Public reaction remains divided, with many wondering whose side to take in this high-stakes showdown.
