In 2022, Bill Gates reached out to Elon Musk.

Gates was impressed. Everything seemed fine. Until Musk asked one question: โ€œ๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐“๐ž๐ฌ๐ฅ๐š?โ€ Gates had placed a $๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐›๐ž๐ญ ๐š๐ ๐š๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ ๐“๐ž๐ฌ๐ฅ๐š.With leverage, the total position was $๐Ÿ‘ ๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง. His reason? "I talked to my financial advisors. Tesla is overvalued. Iโ€™m going to make money on the short." Muskโ€™s reaction? ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐›๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐Ÿ. "I thought you cared about climate change. Why would you bet against the company doing the most to solve it?" For Musk, ๐“๐ž๐ฌ๐ฅ๐š ๐ฐ๐š๐ฌ๐งโ€™๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐š ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐ง๐ฒโ€”๐ข๐ญ ๐ฐ๐š๐ฌ ๐š ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง.Betting against Tesla meant betting against clean energy.

A few days later, Gates texted Musk, trying to restart the philanthropy discussion. Muskโ€™s reply was ๐œ๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ž๐œ๐ญ: "Sorry, but I canโ€™t take your philanthropy on climate change seriously when you short Tesla." Later, Musk told his biographer: "At this point, I am convinced he is categorically insaneโ€ฆ I did actually want to like him (sigh)." The fallout was final. Two of the worldโ€™s greatest tech mindsโ€”๐ฉ๐จ๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐š๐ฅ ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ, ๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ž๐. Because their philosophies clashed: Musk: Solve problems through innovation and disruption. Gates: Solve problems through structured philanthropy and grants. But hereโ€™s the twistโ€”๐“๐ž๐ฌ๐ฅ๐šโ€™๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐œ๐ค ๐ฌ๐จ๐š๐ซ๐ž๐.
