Musk, the richest man in the world, issued a warning to former richest man Bill Gates last weekend, saying that if Gates hasn't completely eliminated his nearly eight-year Tesla short position, it is best to act quickly. Gates has been shorting Tesla shares for a long time, which is one of the key reasons why Musk has always been unhappy with Gates. Musk pointed out that Gates shorted the company at a critical time for Tesla, undermining the investment confidence of ordinary Tesla investors. Musk's latest warning stems from information posted by a tech blogger on Sunday. The account Tesla Owners Silicon Valley pointed out that the Gates Foundation is selling off its Microsoft shares to cash out nearly 9 billion US dollars, while Gates is still closing his Tesla short position.
