Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, attacked billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates on Wednesday after a report alleged that the Microsoft co-founder spent millions fighting Musk’s $44 billion takeover of Twitter.
According to the far-right newspaper Breitbart News, hundreds of millions of dollars were transferred from Bill Gates‘ foundation to 11 of the 26 organizations that “signed an open letter last month asking Twitter advertisers to leave the company if Elon Musk restores free expression on the platform.”

The study examined public documents to connect hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions from the letter signatories back to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, citing research and analysis by the Foundation for Freedom Online (FFO).
According to the paper, “11 of the 26 anti-Musk organizations received funds from a Bill Gates-backed entity.”
“What a d*** move!” Musk exclaimed.

“You think that’s bad? Wait until you see what he put in your vaccine,” Musk told a follower.
According to FFO’s research, the Bill Gates Foundation made 102 different cash donations to or through New Venture Fund totaling $457 million.
Soros, Clinton, and Obama employees sign an anti-Musk petition to boycott Twitter. After Musk tweeted about “who supports these organizations that seek to control your access to knowledge,” late Wednesday news appeared that the groups driving the anti-Musk campaign are affluent Democrat donors and their family foundations, labor unions, and European national governments.
Earlier this month, roughly 26 activist organizations and non-governmental organizations issued a petition to Twitter advertisers urging them to abandon the network if Musk makes changes to content control.
Some of these organizations were later proven to be supported or affiliated with billionaire philanthropist George Soros, former US Presidents Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama.
“Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter will further contaminate our information ecosystem and pose a clear threat to public safety, particularly among the most vulnerable and marginalized,” the organizations wrote to advertisers.
“Under Musk’s leadership, Twitter risks becoming a sewer of disinformation, with your brand attached, poisoning our information ecosystem at a time when trust in institutions and the news media is already at an all-time low,” the organizations wrote.
The people behind the 26 organizations were initially identified by the Daily Mail.
Musk has put the Twitter acquisition on hold until the firm reveals the exact number of bots on its network. He has previously sparred with Bill Gates on Twitter over a variety of issues. Gates had expressed concern about Musk’s Twitter takeover, suggesting he may turn the microblogging site into a “worse” platform.
Musk has previously tweeted a photo of Bill Gates, accusing him of shorting Tesla stock. Bill Gates stated that Musk’s tweets, “don’t disturb me.”
