The two former richest men in the world represent two worlds, and the two are upset with each other. A 65-year-old man and a 50-year-old like Japan. Both of them are American myths. The two were the richest men in the world. They are Bill Gates and Elon Musk. However, the ways are different. Mou, the two were so angry that they were about to fight the “Million Ring.” What are the causes and consequences of the story? Let’s start with the most controversial Bitcoin.

Gates recently made an all-out effort to promote his new book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” (How to Avoid a Climate Disaster) for the first time on the voice social platform Clubhouse, and communicated with CNBC reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin, and talked about his recent appointment by Tesla CEO. When Sk’s touted Bitcoin, he couldn’t help but criticize it in a series of violent criticisms, meaning, “Musk has a lot of money, and his thinking is also avant-garde. There is no fear of investing in Bitcoin, which rises and falls like a roller coaster, but you are most afraid of it. With tons of dollars worth of money, you go to learn to invest in Bitcoin again, and you fall into the delusion of overnight wealth, so everyone must do what they can and be careful.”
Gates has always been not optimistic about the trend of Bitcoin. In an interview with CNBC in 2018, he stated that such virtual currencies are opaque and easily manipulated. “I will bet on Bitcoin.” How to bet? Gates said: “If I can, I will sell it short.” The Bitcoin transaction price at the time was 19,000 US dollars, and it hit a new high of 58,000 US dollars a few days ago. If Gates really talked about short selling Bitcoin, The result was a serious injury to wealth. Since Gates accidentally talked about the topic of short selling, it is thought that Tesla has been short-selling by a mysterious force in the market in the past. Whether it is also related to Gates is related to Gates is a good friend of Warren Buffett. Director of Berkshire Hathaway Investment Company, which is a traditional force in the stock market. However, whether Gates has shorted Bitcoin and Tesla in the market is not the point, but the virtual currency that Musk “endorses” conflicts with the environmentalism proposed by Gates.
“Migrating” Bitcoin requires a lot of computing power. According to research calculations, the power required by machines that support Bitcoin operation in a year exceeds the electricity consumption of the Netherlands, which has a population of 17 million. According to the “Voice of Germany”: “According to the same calculation, if Bitcoin is a country, only 30 countries in the world consume more electricity than it. Bitcoin requires more electricity than the UAE, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Belgium, and Australia. Or Israel.” Tesla invested 1.5 billion U.S. dollars in Bitcoin and announced that it would accept Bitcoin as a payment for car purchases.

“The power supply in many countries is unstable, and some countries cannot handle the increase in electricity demand. In January of this year, the Iranian government accused the mining of Bitcoin for causing the country’s power outage. In addition, all electricity production will have a huge carbon dioxide footprint. , Bitcoin has a large number of supporters, and the most well-known non-Tesla CEO Musk is none other than.” Bitcoin and Musk and Gates, who advocated for improving climate change, are naturally incompatible. Gates pointed out in his new book: “Solving the problem of climate change will be the most amazing thing humanity has ever done.”
Gates encourages society to invest more in the real economy instead of virtual finance. Gates told CNBC reporter Sokin that he prefers to invest in companies that “manufacture products,” taking malaria and measles vaccines as examples. He chose related investments not because of making more money, but for something more meaningful.

The most interesting thing is that Gates is “right to things and to people”. He doesn’t like Musk, but also doesn’t catch Tesla’s eyes. He has already publicly stated that he has bought a Porsche Taycan, an electric car model that directly competes with Tesla. Porsche may be listed independently from the Volkswagen Group next year, with a valuation of 25 to 30 billion U.S. dollars-Tesla’s current market value is more than 650 billion U.S. dollars-reflecting the great potential of Porsche’s electric vehicles.
