Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has a reputation for his outspoken nature on social media.
Recently, he made a subtle remark about Bill Gates, who had criticized Musk’s comments on the coronavirus pandemic.
This witty response from Musk has entertained many Twitter users.
During an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates discussed the issue of misinformation surrounding the coronavirus.
Gates also touched upon Musk and his controversial statements about the pandemic, suggesting that Musk should focus on subjects within his expertise.
According to The Atlantic, Musk had previously downplayed the severity of the virus, suggesting that COVID-19 deaths may have been exaggerated and that lockdowns might not have been necessary.
These comments received backlash on social media.
“He maintains a high level of outrageous comments,” Gates said in response to Musk’s controversial remarks.
“He’s not heavily involved in vaccines.
He excels in making electric cars and rockets.
So, he’s entitled to express his opinions.
I just hope he doesn’t delve too much into areas outside his expertise.”
In a lighthearted tweet, Elon Musk indirectly responded to Gates’ comment.
“The rumor that Bill Gates & I are lovers is completely untrue,” he wrote on Twitter.
Musk’s tweet garnered over 99,000 likes and thousands of amusing reactions from Twitter users.
Some users even shared humorous images to support their playful speculations about a potential relationship between Musk and Gates.
This isn’t the first time Musk has taken a playful jab at his fellow tech billionaire.
In February of this year, he poked fun at Gates for choosing a Porsche instead of a Tesla as his first electric vehicle.
Overall, Elon Musk’s clever response to the rumors of an affair with Bill Gates has caused a stir on social media.
With his history of outspokenness on various topics, it seems Musk continues to entertain and surprise his followers with his witty remarks.
