Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates (Bill Gates) and Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) have different views on many things.
▲ Gates and Tesla have many differences on electric vehicles and the new crown epidemic
The contradiction between Gates and Musk has rapidly heated up in the past six months. They are diametrically opposed to each other on everything from electric vehicles to the new crown epidemic.
Both are among the richest people in the world. Although their public competitions are not always particularly hot, the two have fundamental differences on the new crown epidemic and therefore have a more profound impact.
The following are the “rights and wrongs” between two people:
Gates’ multiple public statements indicate that he is not a fan of Tesla’s electric cars
▲ Gates is not a fan of Tesla electric cars
In an interview with YouTube celebrity Marques Brownlee (Marques Brownlee) in February this year, Gates said that although Tesla helped promote the innovation and popularization of electric vehicles, he recently purchased a Porsche Taycan.
Gates’ comments clearly made Musk dissatisfied. He tweeted that communication with Gates was always “boring.”
▲ Gates talked about Musk’s comments on the new crown epidemic
In an interview with a CNBC program, Gates criticized Musk’s comments on the new crown virus and suggested that Musk should not “make irresponsible remarks” about the epidemic.
Gates said, “Musk’s comments are intolerable. Although he has developed excellent electric cars and rockets, he doesn’t know much about vaccines. He can talk more about electric cars and rockets. I hope he will not treat himself. The little-known areas are gesticulating.”
Both Gates and Musk are actively participating in the fight against the epidemic. Gates donated $100 million to fight the epidemic through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Musk used Tesla’s resources to purchase and produce ventilators, and cooperated with German biotechnology company CureVac to help vaccine production.
However, since March, Musk has frequently made statements claiming that the new crown virus is not that serious, severely criticized the stay-at-home order, vigorously promoted that the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine can be used to treat new crown pneumonia, and claimed that children are immune to the new crown virus. (It has been proved to be wrong), questioned the new crown death virus data.
Musk also said in March that “new cases of new coronary pneumonia will be close to zero” at the end of April. As of now, the number of deaths from the new crown in the United States alone has exceeded 200,000.
These comments angered Musk and told Gates on Twitter that he “returned him in his own way”
▲Musk made fun of Gates on Twitter
Musk jokingly posted a number of tweets about Gates, including “Bill Gates is not my lover”, “The rumors that Bill Gates and I are lovers are completely wrong.”
Earlier this month, Musk tweeted that Gates “knows nothing” about electric cars
▲Musk said Gates “knows nothing about electric vehicles”
Gates published a blog post in August, questioning the practicality of electric trucks.
Gates’ blog post did not mention Tesla. Tesla is producing an electric truck.
A few weeks later, a Twitter user asked Musk to express his views on Gates’ comments. Musk responded by saying, “He knows nothing.”
The latest development in the relationship between the two is that Musk called Gates “idiot”
▲Musk called Gates “idiot”
In an interview published this week, “New York Times” reporter Kara Swisher (Kara Swisher) asked Musk to talk about his views on the new coronavirus, including whether he plans to get vaccinated.
Musk refuted Gates’ comments and defended himself by saying that he had collaborated with epidemiologists at Harvard University on “antibody research” and mentioned Tesla’s cooperation with CureVac.
Musk said to Swisher, “Gates made a big talk without knowing what I was doing. I want to say to him,’Idiot, we are producing vaccine preparation equipment for the CureVac that you invested in.'”
