Elon Musk Rebuffs Bill Gates’ Philanthropy Request

Compares Photo Of Gates To “Pregnant Man” Emoji

BY TYLER DURDEN

The beef between Bill Gates and Elon Musk appears to be very real.

Over the last 24 hours, text messages between Musk and Gates leaked on Twitter, wherein Musk declines to speak to Gates about philanthropic opportunities because Gates supposedly still has a “half billion dollar short position against Tesla”.

The leaked messages were posted by @WholeMarsBlog, a source that is known to be close to Tesla and Musk. “So apparently Bill Gates hit up @elonmusk to discuss “philanthropy on climate change” but Elon asked if he still had a half billion dollar short position on $TSLA,” the tweet reads.

“Bill said he hasn’t closed it out, so Elon told him to get lost,” it continues. Included in the Tweet are screenshots of the texts.

“Do you still have a half billion dollar short position against Tesla?” Musk asks. “Sorry to say I haven’t closed it out. I would like to discuss philanthropy possibilities,” Gates replied.

To which Musk wrote: “Sorry, I cannot take your philanthropy on climate change seriously when you have a massive short position against Tesla, the company doing the most to solve climate change.”

Musk confirmed in a Tweet that the conversation was real and said that he didn’t leak it to the New York Times. “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,” Musk wrote.

But Musk wasn’t done there. In the later hours of Friday night, Musk Tweeted out a photo of Bill Gates, comparing him to the new Apple “pregnant man” emoji (yes, this is a thing and we wrote about it here), with the caption: “in case u need to lose a boner fast”.

Musk then took a jab at Twitter, posting a photo of cloaked shadowy figures with the caption: “shadow ban council reviewing tweet …”

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
