In a shocking escalation of the ongoing feud between two of the world’s most influential tech billionaires, Elon Musk has called for a boycott of Microsoft, taking direct aim at Bill Gates. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO took to X (formerly Twitter) to issue a scathing statement, claiming that “everyone deserves to know the truth” about Microsoft and its business practices.
Musk vs. Gates: A Rivalry Reignited
The tension between Musk and Gates is nothing new. Over the years, the two have clashed publicly over topics like electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, and philanthropy.
- In 2020, Musk accused Gates of shorting Tesla stock, claiming that the Microsoft co-founder had bet against the electric car company.
- In 2023, leaked messages showed Gates admitting to a $500 million short position against Tesla, which Musk called a “hypocritical move” considering Gates’ stance on climate change.
- Musk has also criticized Microsoft’s involvement in AI, particularly its partnership with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.
But this time, Musk’s attack is more direct—and he’s calling for action.
Why Is Musk Calling for a Boycott?
Musk’s latest comments appear to be a response to Microsoft’s increasing dominance in AI and cloud computing, particularly its influence over OpenAI.
In a viral post on X, Musk wrote:
“Bill Gates and Microsoft have too much power in AI and tech. They manipulate the narrative while pretending to be ethical. It’s time for people to wake up—boycott Microsoft. Everyone deserves to know the truth.”
The statement immediately ignited debate, with Musk’s supporters rallying behind him while others questioned his motivations.
Microsoft’s Response – Silence or Counterattack?
So far, Bill Gates and Microsoft have not publicly responded to Musk’s remarks. However, industry insiders speculate that this could be the beginning of a major tech war, as both billionaires continue to shape the future of AI, energy, and digital infrastructure.
What’s Next?
With Tesla, SpaceX, and X under Musk’s control and Microsoft deeply invested in AI and cloud computing, this feud could have massive consequences for the tech industry. Will Gates and Microsoft respond? Or will Musk’s influence be enough to turn public opinion against one of the most powerful companies in the world?
One thing is certain—this battle is just getting started.
