What kind of sparks will collide between the two world's richest people together? Musk's chat with Bill Gates reveals the interesting side of the two richest men in the world.
On April 23, whistleblower @WholeMarsBlog released a chat between Elon Musk and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
The chat was around a charity event spearheaded by Gates, and Musk also mocked Gates for being bearish on Tesla.
Musk also responded: It was true, but it wasn't something he showed to the New York Times, someone had to get it through his friend's friend. Musk explained that he had heard from several people at TED that Bill Gates had a short $500 million position in Tesla, so he consulted about it, which was not a secret.
The two billionaires first had a conversation about "climate change" philanthropy, but then Musk suddenly asked Gates if he still held a $500 million Tesla short position.
When Gates acknowledged the possibility, Musk flatly declined the Microsoft founder's offer and mocked Gates with a "teenage mom" expression.
Bill Gates has yet to respond. I don't know if because of this, the two richest people in the world will tie the knot.
