Bill Gates' $500 million Tesla short is a bit awkward at best in terms of his own pledges to help with climate change.
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.Elon Musk confirmed that the messages were real and added that he did not leak them to the. According to the messages, Gates wanted to talk about philanthropy possibilities. Elon Musk told Gates that he was unable to take his philanthropy on climate change seriously in light of Gates’ short position against Tesla.
During the text exchange, Gates said he’d just landed and Elon Musk asked him if he still had a half-a-billion-dollar short position against Tesla. Gates replied, “Sorry to say I haven’t closed it out. I would like to discuss philanthropy possibilities.”Although there had been rumors about Gates shorting Tesla’s stock, Gates declined to address those whenin 2021. “Yeah, I’m not, I don’t talk about my investments, but I think he should be very proud of what he’s done.
It seems as if, publicly, Gates wanted to portray an image of support for Elon Musk and Tesla. However, one can go on TV and say a lot of nice things. Those things don’t matter if you don’t back them up with actions. And a $500 million Tesla short position is definitely an action that betrays what Gates has said about
