Why is Elon Musk cyber bullying Bill Gates?

This is a cruel tweet from Elon. It’s a scary look into his psyche, and an ominous clue to the sort of toxic masculinity that could be unleashed if he takes control of Twitter.

I don’t understand how they can embrace him given the racism at his business and the fact that Musk is a sociopath and a bully.

Which goes to show that no amount of money will ever be enough for this messed up human being. He has some serious issues that money can't fix. It is like he never grew past the fourth grade and is still behaving like the world is one big playground and he is the loudest bully.

At the same time taking large short positions on Tesla?? He is wanting Elon to put his money into helping save the environment while betting against Tesla….which led the way on Electric vehicles. Bill is talking out two sides of his mouth.

was bullied throughout his childhood. One time he ended up in the hospital after a group of boys pushed him down a flight of stairs. Perhaps his entire life has been about payback and now HE has become the bully.

shit-weasel who has never grown up.

I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that he was cruelly bullied as a child and at the time it made me feel sorry for him, but now that I see that he is just repeating the pattern instead of having empathy or compassion for others I have no pity for him at all. He deserves whatever he gets. Someone needs to put that little punk in his place.

Gates and Jobs actually developed the products and services they sold. Elon is an investor who needs to pay more taxes.

Never had to grow up in his life, used family wealth to leverage hostile takeovers of promising companies.
He's "worked hard" gaming the System to profit off other people's hard work.
