Elon Musk on Bill Gates, Climate “Wokeness,” and the Real Science Behind It In a recent All In Podcast episode, Elon Musk shared surprising details about his encounters with Bill Gates and his views on the climate debate. Musk recalled Gates visiting Tesla’s Gigafactory and insisting that long-range electric semis were impossible—despite Tesla already having them in commercial use. When Musk pressed Gates on basic metrics like energy density or watt-hours per mile, Gates had no answers. Musk said he was taken aback by how little Gates understood the science, adding that Gates has now “done a 180” on climate—apparently downplaying its urgency. Musk pushed back on both extremes of the debate: total denial and alarmism. He argued that while atmospheric CO₂ is rising, the real concern is over the next 50 years, not five. His conclusion was refreshingly pragmatic: society should “lean toward” sustainable energy, solar, and batteries—not through massive subsidies, but by ending unfair tax breaks for oil and gas. “If we’re being scientific,” Musk said, “we’ll have to move toward what actually lasts.” A rare dose of reason in an era of performative panic.

Naval Ravikant tells his favorite Elon Musk story “There was a story that I read about [Elon] that really affected me,” Naval begins. “He was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla.” “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” Elon asked. Bill Gates replied, “I talked to my financial advisors, looked at the math, and it’s overvalued. So I’m going to make money on the short.” To which Elon responded: “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world?” Elon walked away in disgust and never talked to Bill Gates after that. Naval comments: “That’s when I realized Elon is a purist. He means what he says. Money is a tool for him to get to where he’s trying to go. And so I take him at face value… A lot of people set these audacious goals to inspire people, but they don’t really mean it. Elon I take at face value. I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that.” He continues: “Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America. He wants to go down as the guy who got humanity to the stars. And I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the, ‘I got humanity to the stars guy.’ He’s just like, ‘I want to get to the stars, and I have to make it happen in this lifetime’… That’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything. And I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.” Video source: Scott Adams (2024)

🚨 ELON MUSK CALLED OUT BILL GATES FIRST‼️ When the FAKE-philanthropist Bill Gates criticized USAID cuts, Elon Musk dropped a BOMBSHELL: “Who does Bill Gates think he is to make comments about the welfare of children, given that he frequented Jeffrey Epstein?” Do you think Elon would have done that if he was involved in the child traff¡cking cases? 🤨 Expose EVERYTHING and ARREST the criminals.

Scott Galloway says the man who made Elon Musk pay $44 billion for Twitter is the one person Musk never fights with, and he should run OpenAI. “Keep in mind, this is the guy that shoplifted $44 billion from Elon Musk and forced him to close, and didn’t get into a pissing match with Elon Musk.” “Elon Musk does not shitpost Bret Taylor. Think about it. He had to pay $44 billion for a company that’s now worth three billion. And he’s not out calling Bret Taylor a crook.” “Every investor at OpenAI would have about a seven-day exhale if they announced that Bret Taylor was the new CEO.”

THE EPSTEIN-GATES CONNECTION. Elon calls out Bill Gates making comments about children when Gates himself had an extensive relationship with Jeffery Epstein and sets the record straight about the amount of fraud occurring through USAID and how no programs were cut that help people around the world. Elon makes a point stating that he would never want Bill Gates to even babysit his own kids. The relationship between Epstein and Gates is long, odd, and mysterious, to say the least. First, like Elon said, Gates has no room to talk when it comes to children. Bill Gates has used almost every 3rd world country as his own scientific laboratory, testing out numerous drugs and vaccines, which has injured and unalived numerous children all across the world. Next, you have this odd relationship with Epstein and gates that goes beyond "business." First of all, why was Bill Gates taking multiple trips on his plane and to the island more than 6x, which has been confirmed on the flight logs? Also, why did Gates continue his relationship with Epstein long after he was first arrested and convicted of sexual crimes against a minor? Gates was also in multiple business dealings with Epstein and in the process of starting a multi-billion dollar foundation as well. This also comes well after Epstein was confirmed to be a convicted child sexual predator. Everything is highly suspicious between Gates actual activities and business dealings with Epstein. The pieces start adding up as to a major contributing factor as to why Bill and Melinda Gates got a divorce. You can bet multiple Epstein island visits played a major role in that. Then you have Epstein's "suic*de," which Gates also made a very strange comment about at the end of the video. Did he have something to do with it? The writing is on the wall. One thing is for sure, there are no coincidences between Epstein and Bill Gates relationship, especially when traveling to Little St. James, not once, but 6 times. No wonder Bill Gates "donated" $50 million to the Harris campaign. He knew if Trump won the election, his time was up. Well, it looks like Trump won. Guess what Bill? Your time is up.

Naval Ravikant reveals Elon Musk cut off Bill Gates after he placed a roughly $1 billion short bet against tesla. "Elon was like, why would you do that? How would you short Tesla?" "Bill goes, well, my financial advisors looked at the math, and there's no way it's overvalued, so I'm going to make money on the short." "Elon goes, what do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks betting against it?" "I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that." "That's when I realized Elon's a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he's trying to do." "There's a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, but you kind of know they don't really need it. Elon, I take at face value. I really do think he intends to get to Mars within a defined window of time. He doesn't want to go down in history as the electric car guy.

Dave Aronberg: This was supposed to be a Democratic conspiracy, right? Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, it was a Democratic cabal on Epstein Island. Look at the names that keep appearing throughout the Epstein files. Elon Musk, Steve Bannon. How about Howard Lutnick, who said that he was so grossed out by Epstein when he went to his house that he and his wife cut ties to them. Now we find out that after that happened, he was apparently on Epstein Island.

Bill said he spoke to his financial advisors and they said it made sense. Elon said 'What do you need money for? I thought you cared about climate, etc. What are you doing?' and then he walked away in disgust and never talked to Bill Gates after that. Elon's a purist, he means what he says.

.Naval: There was a story that I read about Elon Musk that really affected me, which was when he was talking to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates had just taken out some huge short on Tesla. It was like a billion dollar short or something. And, Elon was like, “Why would you do that? Why would you short Tesla?” And Bill goes, “Well, you know, I talked to my financial advisors and I looked at the math and there’s no way it’s overvalued. And so I’m going to make money on the short.” And Elon goes, “What do you care about making money? I thought you were into electric cars and climate change and saving the world. What are you doing trying to save a few bucks and betting against Tesla?”. And he just walked away in disgust. And I think he never talked to Bill Gates after that. And that’s when I realized, like, Elon’s a purist. He means what he says. The money is a tool for him to get what he’s trying to do. And so I take him at face value, which is the crazy thing, because a lot of people who set these audacious goals to inspire people, you kind of know they don’t really mean it. Elon, I take at face value. So I really do think he intends to get to Mars. I don’t think he’s joking about that. And I think he means to get there within a defined window of time. And I don’t think it’s just like an inspirational, faraway goal. I think he’s very, very concretely going to do whatever it takes. Because Elon doesn’t want to go down in history as the electric car guy or even the guy who saved America guy. He wants to go down as a guy who got humanity to the stars. Again, I’ll give him more credit than that. I don’t even think he wants to go down as the “I got humanity to the stars” guy. He’s just like, “I want to get to the stars, and so I have to make it happen in this lifetime. The only way that I get to experience the science fiction world in my head is if I get to the stars.” And so that’s so inspirational. I think that drives everything. So I think the government was just a thing that got in his way.

The smartest men in the world bet everything on the right idea. They went bankrupt. Elon Musk had the same idea and built a monopoly. Marc Andreessen just explained why. Starlink crossed 10 million subscribers. Consumer satellite internet was a graveyard before Musk ever touched it. Bill Gates tried it at the peak of Microsoft’s power. Teamed up with Craig McCaw and launched Teledesic. Andreessen: “Complete catastrophe, total bankruptcy, complete disaster.” Then Motorola. The company that built American cellular telephony. They created Iridium. Andreessen: “Classic business school case study of just complete disaster, capital destruction.” Unlimited capital. The best engineers money could buy. A vision of the future that turned out to be dead right. Both went to zero. When Musk announced Starlink, the industry waited for the funeral. Andreessen: “Elon’s like, ‘I know, I’m going to do number three of those.’ Starlink. As a side project at the rocket ship company.” They missed the inversion. Musk wasn’t building a satellite company. He was building a railroad. Andreessen: “If the rockets are reusable, we’re going to be launching them all the time. And then the question becomes, what’s going to go in the rockets?” This is the fracture line between a bankruptcy and a monopoly. Gates paid someone else to reach orbit. Motorola paid someone else to reach orbit. The cost of the rocket killed the economics before a single customer ever logged on. Musk owned the rocket. If he didn’t fill it with his own cargo, the trains ran empty. So he invented the cargo. Starlink was never the product. It was the freight. He didn’t build infrastructure to serve a business. He invented a business to feed his infrastructure. That is the inversion no one studied. Andreessen: “It’s a formula that captures both sides of it, and it may be like the least studied and understood thing I know of in the world right now.” Three men. Same vision. Same ambition. Same bet. Two are case studies in destruction. One owns a global monopoly. The idea was identical. The physics underneath it were not. Gates wasn’t wrong about the future. He was standing on the wrong floor of it. Musk didn’t build a better satellite. He built the floor it rose from. Right now, across every frontier that matters, the floor of the next century is being poured. Almost nobody is looking down.

Joe Rogan Calls Out Bill Gates Corruption - Says Bill Gates is not a philanthropist - He profits off lies - Made a career out of telling lies - “F**king wild” how he profited off the covid vaccines “The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation profited millions of dollars on the vaccines. And then once he dumped the stock, he completely changed his narrative and he started talking about how ineffective the vaccines were and about how the virus wasn't as bad as we thought it was. Like this is f**king wild because this is the same guy that through the entire pandemic was talking about how great these vaccines are and these vaccines are so effective and they stop the virus and all that was a lie and he profited off those lies. Everyone wants to pretend that he's just like this amazing philanthropist. No. He made a lot of money. This is motivated by money and his entire career he's been motivated by money. He's a businessman and in that time his business was the business of telling people things that he's not educated in. Right, He's not a scientist. He's not a medical doctor. This is crazy how transparent it is. You're not even hiding it.”

Everything Elon Musk predicted has come true exactly as he said He told us Reid Hoffman and Bill Gates were terrified of a Trump victory They poured millions into Kamala’s campaign not for "democracy," but for self-preservation Today, the Epstein files are OPEN Now we see why they were scared: > Reid Hoffman: island visits & "reputation repair" > Bill Gates: blackmail & secret meetings Elon is the reason we’re seeing the truth that could have stayed buried forever without him Elon was right about everything

Bill Gates walked into the Tesla Gigafactory and declared the long-range electric semi impossible. The truck was already in production. Pepsi was running it on live routes. Musk: “I was like, well, but we literally have them. And you can drive them. And Pepsi is literally using them right now.” Gates was standing inside the factory that built the vehicle he was dismissing. It existed. It was moving freight. Musk: “He’s like, ‘No, no, it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.’ And I’m like… I’m kind of stuck here.” Musk didn’t argue. He asked for the math. Musk: “You must think we can’t achieve the energy density of the battery pack, or that the watt-hours per mile of the truck is too high. Which one of those numbers do you think we have wrong, and what numbers do you think are correct?” Gates didn’t have wrong numbers. He had no numbers. Musk: “He didn’t know any of the numbers.” The co-founder of Microsoft walked into an operating factory, stood next to a truck hauling Pepsi’s freight, and declared it impossible without a single figure. No energy density. No efficiency metric. No math. Just conviction wearing a $130 billion net worth as a credential. Musk: “Doesn’t it seem that it’s perhaps premature to conclude that a long-range semi cannot work if you do not know the energy density of the battery pack or the energy efficiency of the truck chassis?” One question. Nowhere left to stand. Musk: “You’d think he’d be really quite strong in the sciences. But actually, he is not strong in the sciences. It is really surprising.” Gates built his empire on software. Abstraction. Code that never has to satisfy a physics equation. Musk builds in atoms. Battery cells have energy densities. Truck chassis have drag coefficients. A semi either makes the route or it doesn’t. There is no patch. Physics does not negotiate. Thirty years inside abstraction and a man starts believing his intuition applies everywhere. It doesn’t. The truck exists. The routes are logged. Pepsi is running them. Gates declared it impossible and couldn’t produce the math to prove it. The truck already had.

Reminder - Bill Gates Advocates for AI to Censor Misinformation His plea to "strike a balance" on free speech is technocratic language for censorship. He sees the First Amendment as a hurdle, not a right. Now he wants AI to automate the silencing of "misinformation"—whatever contradicts approved narratives on vaccines, elections, and more. This isn’t about truth. It’s about authority. Gates trusts algorithms more than people, and enforcement more than open discourse. Elon Musk built X for free speech. Gates “hopes” he’ll instead join the censorship crowd. The real misinformation is the idea that the public can’t think for itself.
