The feud between Gates and Musk isn’t exactly new, though. They’ve had disagreements in the past over topics ranging from electric vehicles to the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Musk has often been vocal about Gates’ lack of ‘hands-on’ experience in the tech world. In response, Gates, known for his more composed demeanor, usually tries to downplay the animosity. But it seems this time, Musk has decided to turn it up to 11.

In the past, Musk has made some wild allegations against his rivals on Twitter. Who can forget the time he called a British cave diver a “pedo guy”? Or when he implied that Jeff Bezos, his space exploration rival and the head honcho at Amazon, was a copycat? But Musk’s latest tweet takes the cake for its level of absurdity, leaving Twitter users guessing if this is another episode of Musk’s theatrics or if he genuinely has some damning information about Gates.

There’s also the possibility that Musk, the master of digital tomfoolery, is simply stirring the pot to generate buzz, and the promised revelations are a clever hoax.
