Elon Musk, world’s richest man, wrote on X that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates might face bankruptcy if Tesla becomes “the world’s most valuable company by far,” escalating their long-running dispute over Gates’ short position in the electric vehicle maker. The statement by Musk came as Tesla’s market capitalization stands at $1.251 trillion, still significantly behind Apple In at $3.729 trillion. To achieve the top position, Tesla would need to grow by nearly 200%.
In the post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Musk wrote “If Tesla does become the world’s most valuable company by far, that short position will bankrupt even Bill Gates”.
