Tesla CEO Elon Musk reacted to an X post that claimed Microsoft Co-founder Bill Gates could've become the world's first trillionaire if he hadn't listened to Warren Buffett and sold his Microsoft shares to diversify. "Bill Gates placed a massive short bet against Tesla of around 1% of our total shares, which might've cost him over $10 billion," Musk said.
