Tech billionaire and Microsoft founder Bill Gates has responded to Elon Musk’s move to buy Twitter. Gates was responding to speculations around his disagreement with Musk, saying that the Tesla CEO could possibly make Twitter a “worse” platform.
Speaking at the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit, Gates said he is unsure of Musk’s intention of buying the micro-blogging platform. During his chat, Gates also talked about shorting Tesla, something Elon Musk had reportedly confronted him about, among other things. “He actually could make it worse,” Gates said. He also said that buying Twitter is an uncertain move from Musk. Gates said it is not clear what Musk will do with Twitter, before backtracking a little, saying that he won’t assume what’s going to happen. “If Musk makes Twitter worse, I’ll speak about that, but I won’t assume what’s going to happen,” Gates said.
