00:00Imagine lighting $2 billion on fire by betting Tesla would crash,
00:04then turning to Elon Musk for climate cash.
00:07According to Musk, that is exactly what Bill Gates did.
00:10And it still boggles his mind.
00:12According to Musk, Gates secretly shorted Tesla during its weakest stretch,
00:16trying to profit if the company collapsed.
00:19Yet almost in the same breath,
00:20Gates asked him to donate to his environmental foundation,
00:23a move Musk blasted on X as hypocrisy.
00:27Biographer Walter Isaacson confirms the wager.
00:30By the time the two met in Austin in 2022,
00:33the short had already cost Gates up to $2 billion.
00:36Gates apologized, later calling Musk super mean.
00:40While Musk warned that once Tesla perfects full autonomy
00:43and its Optimus robots hit production,
00:46anyone still betting against the stock, even Gates, will be obliterated.
00:50Bottom line, betting against Tesla can drain your wallet.
00:53And Elon never forgets.
