🚨🇺🇸Worlds Richest Elon Musk Says Bill Gates Still Has Massive Short Against $1.5 Trillion Tesla.
Musk Posted “No Kidding, Wow. Gates Is Funding People Who Attack Me. He Still Has A Massive Short Position Against Tesla.”
He Was Replying To Katie Miller Pointing Out The Gates Foundation Sponsors Kara Swisher’s Podcast That Targets Him. His Idea Is Basically That Gates Keeps Betting Against Tesla While Backing Critics.
this is very funny banter from Elon.... lol 🤣
Important context as per the limited info we have:
While Gates confirmed a roughly $500M short against Tesla in 2022 (and was already deep underwater on it), there is no public confirmation that he still holds the position in 2026. Individual short positions aren’t always disclosed, Gates has stayed silent on the topic since then, and Musk has repeated the claim for years without new evidence.
“Gates is funding people who attack me” is Musk’s interpretation of the podcast sponsorship. Gates has appeared on Swisher’s shows, and Foundation ads are common on podcasts, whether that equals deliberately funding attacks is subjective.
