Leftist Bill Gates is worth an estimated $132 billion, but apparently he still needs to ask for help from the world’s richest man — Elon Musk.

After widespread speculation, Elon Musk has confirmed that screenshots obtained by Fox News and others show private text messages between himself and liberal Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.

Musk sends a scathing message that questions whether Gates is still holding a half-billion-dollar short position against Telsa. This suggests Gates believes Telsa’s stock is overvalued and will drop in the future. By betting against the company, Gates would profit if the company’s stock drops.

Gates attempt to shift the conversation to discuss “philanthropy possibilities,” but things didn’t end well for Gates. Take a look:

Musk has since confirmed the veracity of the screenshot of the text exchange after initial speculation. “No idea if this is true lol,” one person wrote.

“Yeah,” Musk answered about the texts being real, “but I didn’t leak it to NYT. They must have got it through friends of friends.”

“I heard from multiple people at TED that Gates still had half billion short against Tesla, which is why I asked him, so it’s not exactly top secret,” Musk said.

In the text exchange, Musk asked Gates, “Do you still have a half-billion dollar short position against Tesla?”

“Sorry to say I haven’t closed it out. I would like to discuss philanthropy possibilities,” Gates responded.

“Sorry, but I cannot take your philanthropy on climate change seriously when you have a massive short position against Tesla, the company doing the most to solve climate change,” Musk fired back.

Musk went on to hilariously mock Gates by comparing him to Apple’s new “woke” pregnant man emoji.

This brilliantly pokes fun at how liberals believe in science as long as it has nothing to do with biological facts. Going a step further, Musk captioned the photo: “in case u need to lose a boner fast.” Take a look:

Gates isn’t alone as Musk has also recently criticized Netflex for going “woke.”

Netflix has backed a number of far-left films, such as a show about the life of Colin Kaepernick. The failed NFL quarterback, who was cut and shamefully sued the league, became notorious for claiming the NFL bears a resemblance to slavery and proceeded to kneel during the National Anthem.

Elon Musk responded with 8 simple words: “The woke mind virus is making Netflix unwatchable.” This came in response to news that Netflix shares dropped 20% after reporting it lost subscribers for the first time in more than 10 years. Take a look:

With respect to Netflex, the company has supported Critical Race Theory advocate Ibram X. Kendi to adapt his book “Antiracist Baby” into an animated kids’ show. Netflix also came under fire for producing “Cuties,” a French film that depicts pre-pubescent girls in sexually provocative situations.

Netflix is also producing a series called “He’s Expecting”:

Musk tweeted a few more times. He even agreed it was the “greatest threat to civilization”:

Shares of Netflix cratered more than 20% on Tuesday after the company reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers during the first quarter. This is the first time the streamer has reported a subscriber loss in more than a decade. From a report:

“The company also said it expects to lose 2 million subscribers in the second quarter. A loss of 200,000 compared with 2.73 million adds expected, according to StreetAccount estimates. Netflix previously told shareholders it expected to add 2.5 million net subscribers during the first quarter. Analysts had predicted that number will be closer to 2.7 million. The company said that the suspension of its service in Russia and the winding-down of all Russian paid memberships resulted in a loss of 700,000 subscribers. Excluding this impact, Netflix would have seen 500,000 net additions during the most recent quarter.”
