🚨 Elon Musk Warns: Bill Gates at Risk if Tesla Becomes No. 1! 🚨
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has reignited his feud with Bill Gates, suggesting the Microsoft co-founder could face significant financial consequences if Tesla’s stock skyrockets by 200%, potentially making it the most valuable company globally.
🔥 What Sparked the Feud?
The clash stems from Gates’ short position against Tesla, reportedly resulting in $1.5 billion in losses, as revealed in Walter Isaacson’s biography of Musk.
On X (formerly Twitter), Musk hinted that Gates’ bet could backfire further as Tesla, with its $1.251 trillion market cap, gains momentum. To overtake Apple at $3.729 trillion, Tesla’s valuation would need to more than double—a lofty but not impossible goal for the EV giant.
