The tweet came a day after Musk shared a distasteful meme that apparently targeted Bill Gates over his bodyweight. The controversy sparked when Musk and Gates went into banter, with Musk asking Gates about his half a billion short position against Tesla.
"Do you still have a half-billion dollar short position against Tesla?" Musk asked. To which, Gates replied, "Sorry to say I haven't closed it out," adding that he would like to discuss "philanthropy possibilities" with Musk.
To this, Musk accused him of climate change hypocrisy as he replied, "Sorry, but 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."
This Twitter banter comes after a dramatic week where Musk, the richest man in the world, secured USD 46.5 billion in finance to buy out Twitter, including USD 21 billion of his own wealth.
