Bill Gates shorting Tesla is looking like the financial move of the century right about now.

IF Bill Gates DID short sell Tesla stock back in April, it appears he's clairvoyant afterall.
Or just a really smart investor ..

From April 23/24 cnbc
Elon Musk has accused Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates of shorting Tesla.

In a tweet on Friday (April), the Tesla CEO admitted that he asked Gates if he was short-selling shares of the electric carmaker. When investors short a stock, they are betting that the price of the asset will fall.

Umm. Elon...
Bill Gates has been at this a Long Time.
1975
In 1975 Bill Gates and Paul G. Allen, two boyhood friends from Seattle, converted BASIC, a popular mainframe computer programming language, for use on an early personal computer (PC), the Altair. Shortly afterward, Gates and Allen founded Microsoft, deriving the name from the words microcomputer and software.


Elon Musk was 4 yrs old when Bill Gates created Microsoft, at age 19

1. Musk is a flake.

Wish we’d all shorted Tesla.

[Walleye]

2. When the CEO loses their mind it's time to sell the stock

[Irish_Dem]

3. You don't have to have ESP to know that Musk was making an ass of himself.

[Me.]

4. So What If He Did?

Gates can do whatever he wants with his money and considering the things Musk said about Gates I wouldn't blames Gates if he had. This isn't the first time Musk's mouth has gotten him in trouble. Gates is a smart guy and we should pay attention. Wonder what Buffet thinks of Musk.

8. Buffet & Gates

[TheRealNorth]

9. Sounds like Musk is leaning into RW conspiracy theories now....

We know Musk is on the side of the fascists.

5. When you have the CEO trash probably the biggest base of his customers Democrats and liberals,

Not the brightest move

17. For All His 'Brilliance'...Not That Smart

6. I suspect Bill Gates can read public, financial, and personal events better than most anyone

Plus he has CEO inside expertise like few others.

7. I dumped my Tesla stock in February

One share, but pretty smart eh?

[In It to Win It]

12. Best trade of the decade!

11. Tesla's share price could only be justified if it were to be

The single dominant electric car company.
Apparently Ford will have something to say about that.

[NCDem47]

14. And GM, and VW, and so on and so on.

Tesla i snot the only game in town now.

[Buckeyeblue]

15. That's right

Or if he was developing a way to sell them for significantly less money. Instead he went all in on the driverless technology. Which is interesting but not realistic given our road infestrutrue.

Reducing the price of a Tesla to low to mid-20's (or less) would have been a real game changer.

[JohnSJ]

18. In the next two years that won't be the case

[WarGamer]

21. Problem is... they can't produce EV's...

Tesla shipped more cars in one month that GM and Ford combined all year...

GM and Ford have a LONG way to go... and Ford still can't produce quality cars.

The fancy new Bronco is having problems with the engines dying with less than 5k miles

[tman]

13. It's still overpriced but it will probably reach an ATH before the bubble busts.

[Initech]

16. Musk really tanked Tesla by going full right wing troll.

[WarGamer]

20. not connected, look at the rest of the market.

[WarGamer]

19. After seeing the Q1 GDP numbers (recessionary) it didn't take a genius.

[Patterson]

22. Gates: Then stop doing stupid shit.

[JI7]

23. Didn't Musk post something on Twitter making fun of Bill Gates

physical appearance ?
