Elon Musk and Bill Gates: The feud escalates, revealing the backstory!
How did this feud start?
1. The Tesla Short Selling Incident
Musk's dissatisfaction with Bill Gates mainly stems from the latter's actions of short selling Tesla. According to reports, Gates bet that Tesla's stock price would fall and even lost about $1.5 billion as a result. However, Tesla not only did not crash but instead grew to become a leader in the electric vehicle industry, reaching a market value of $1.25 trillion (as of now), although it still lags behind Apple's $3.7 trillion. Musk publicly mocked on Twitter that if Tesla became the world's most valuable company, Gates would probably go bankrupt.
2. Ideological Differences
Musk has always regarded Gates as a “fake philanthropist.” The reason is that although Gates publicly supports environmental causes, he short-sold a company dedicated to reducing carbon emissions, which Musk sees as a contradiction between words and actions. Moreover, Gates had attempted to persuade Musk to donate to support environmental projects, which further angered the latter.
Recent Escalation of Conflict
As Musk's support for Trump has become increasingly apparent, the divide between the two has widened. Musk and Trump seem to be joining forces to challenge the influence of Microsoft and Gates, while Gates continues to focus on climate change and green energy development. This feud also reflects the starkly different worldviews of the two: Musk centers on innovation and market-driven approaches, while Gates places greater emphasis on charity and long-term social impact.
What does this have to do with Puppies?
This conflict among the big shots reminds one of those “overlooked potential stocks” in the market. Puppies, as an emerging meme coin, may not shine as brightly as Bitcoin or Tesla, but it represents a niche power that could rise in the future, much like Tesla challenged the traditional automobile industry back in the day. Perhaps, Puppies is the next “Tesla” or “Musk,” and it deserves close attention!
