Elon Musk vows Bill Gates will be ‘obliterated’ if he doesn’t stop shorting Tesla

Elon Musk gave Bill Gates advance warning on Tuesday not to trifle with him again. The Microsoft co-founder faces annihilation if he makes any further attempt to bet against Tesla.
That's because Musk believes he will have transformed the carmaker into an AI colossus worth a staggering $30 trillion as soon as Tesla completes its pivot from selling EVs first and foremost to operating a lucrative fleet of robotaxis and humanoid robots.
“Once Tesla fully solves autonomy and has [its droid] Optimus in volume production, anyone still holding a short position will be obliterated,” he posted to social media on Tuesday. “Even Gates.”
The duo's rivalry became public after an exchange leaked in 2022 showing the world’s wealthiest entrepreneur had refused to support Gates’ charitable work upon learning the latter still had a half billion dollars riding on a wager the Tesla stock price would fall.
“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,” Musk wrote in the undated text messages.
suck my balls
In general Musk seems like a decent guy. Him backing this climate change garbage has me worried though.
that's the trick to get you to fall for his offerings
ev - surveillance machine
robots - surveillance machine & enforcer & labour replacement
ai - just another pitfall like all the rest, again surveillance & labour replacement
all his shitposting and memes and "good takes" are just another left-right paradigm theatre performance
I did get Starlink as I didn't want XFinity, which I think is comcast, as I've heard many complaints about them. Plus the whole mobile Starlink thing seems interesting. So far it's been good. More expensive than hardwired (coax/fiber) internet, but not much more. I think the hardwired providers will charge you $80 if you only purchase internet from them. If you bundle other stuff they lower the price.
And as far as I see it, there is no such thing as AI. Just faster chips. Still made of silicon and running software a human wrote. Computers can't think and never will be able to.
