The world's richest man, Musk, issued a warning to former richest man Bill Gates last weekend, saying that if Gates has not completely covered his nearly eight years of Tesla short positions, it is best to accelerate the action. Gates has been shorting Tesla's stock for a long time, which is also one of the key reasons why Musk has been dissatisfied with Gates. Musk pointed out that Gates shorted the company at a critical moment for Tesla, undermining the confidence of ordinary Tesla investors. Musk's latest warning stems from information released by a tech blogger on Sunday. The account Tesla Owners Silicon Valley pointed out that Gates' foundation is selling off its Microsoft holdings, cashing out nearly $9 billion, while Gates is also closing out his Tesla short positions.
