“In fact, he may make things worse, which is not what he is best at. I mean, musk has made admirable achievements in Tesla and SpaceX and formed a great team of engineers. But it’s uncertain whether he can do it again after the acquisition of twitter,” Gates said However, Gates also believes that we should maintain an open mind and never underestimate musk.

But he also expressed concern about how musk could deal with misinformation on social media platforms. Musk had previously said that his definition of freedom of speech was “freedom of speech in accordance with the law”. However, gates refuted this, saying that he had previously claimed that the vaccine could kill and other rumors. Is this what he thinks should be spread? “The digital world has facilitated the rapid spread of many interesting but wrong ideas. We need to make the digital world more a positive factor in revealing the truth and helping people identify true and false information,” Gates said

It is reported that the relationship between musk and Gates has been a little tense recently. Just last month, according to the disclosed information exchange between the two, when gates contacted musk to try to discuss philanthropy in terms of climate change, musk confirmed that Gates was shorting Tesla’s shares and said that if gates shorted Tesla, he would not take Gates’s philanthropy seriously.

When asked about the content of this tweet in the interview, gates did not directly answer the question of whether to personally short Tesla. He said he did not think that shorting or long Tesla had something to do with the serious attitude of dealing with climate change, but also appreciated the role Tesla played in helping deal with climate change.
