Bill Gates has a short position against Tesla Inc that would now need between US$1.5 billion and US$2 billion to close out, Elon Musk said on Friday (May 27) in a series of tweets.
Musk said the position was US$500 million and grew after Tesla “went up a lot”.
When asked last year on CNBC whether he was shorting Tesla, Gates said, “I don’t talk about my investments.”
Since Gates still has a multibillion dollar short position against Tesla while claiming to help with global warming, I guess I have some trust issues with him too.

Musk was replying to tweets after the close of his Twitter poll asking who respondents trust less — politicians or billionaires. More than 75% said they had less trust in politicians.
