Elon Musk annoyed: Bill Gates bought his first electric car – guess which one
Imagine you are the one most second richest woman or second richest man in the world (after Jeff Bezos) and buy a new car. Since you are also a well-known benefactor and committed to fighting the climate catastrophe, it should of course be an electric car. And of course you are aware that such a purchase decision is registered and interpreted by the public. What do you choose?
Microsoft founder Bill Gates has now spoken to well-known YouTuber Marques Brownlee. And no, it’s not a Tesla!
The “billionaire” revealed that the “Porsch” was his first electric car. Gates described the electric Porsche as premium expensive and “very, very cool” and revealed that he enjoyed the car a lot.

And now comes the catch that makes us doubt Gates’ judgment: In front of the camera, he tells of the “range fear” that is said to still keep many potential people from buying an electric car.
After all, the E-Porsche is only a good 300 kilometers away.
Answer: Gates loves Penis extensions on four wheels Porsche. The Microsoft founder has a long history with German sports cars. He also owns an extremely rare 959, which he has fought for over a decade to import into the United States. With other collectors, he achieved the passing of a special law.
After all, the Microsoft founder admitted that Tesla is the leader when it comes to electric cars. And it was only because Elon Musk’s company offered its vehicles at a lower price that movement came into the market. Otherwise the traditional automakers would not have moved.

Tesla is a leader in innovation, but …
In fact, Tesla is not just an innovation leader and driver for an entire industry. The disassembly of a Model 3 by Japanese experts showed that Tesla has a huge multi-year lead over the competition in terms of electronics: The processor known as “Hardware 3” for autonomous driving (Full Self Driving) – an in-house development – is the biggest weapon of the Companies in the emerging market for electric cars are reported.
Was Bill Gates not impressed enough by Tesla’s blatant technical lead, which we cannot deepen here due to lack of space and time?
It is important that purchase prices fall so that electromobility is more accepted in society, Gates said. The (massively lower) maintenance and repair costs would speak for electric cars. And: Of all the factors that affect our planet’s climate, the transport sector currently appears to be the most promising when it comes to improvements.
And why did he buy an E-Porsche? ?
The multimillionaire’s statements relentlessly show the inconsistency that drives our species. We know exactly what behavior would be good for the environment, but we don’t want to limit ourselves significantly when it comes to personal consumption. That would go too far, right?
Tesla boss Elon Musk reacts
It should be noted that the purchase decision by Gates is also being discussed intensively on Twitter.
Tesla boss Elon Musk saw himself provoked to react and did not show his charming side.
“My conversations with Gates weren’t exactly overwhelming, to be honest”

Afterwards Musk made fun of an old video showing Bill Gates jumping over a chair. “Very impressive,” Musk says of these jumping skills.
For this video, Musk Gates mocked:

PS: What Elon Musk and Bill Gates should do
At Elon Musk it is very simple: He should give Gates a Model 3 instead of disparaging the Microsoft founder. Perhaps the 64-year-old only lacked the technical know-how to buy the most advanced vehicle.
At Bill Gates, it is very simple: he should use his influence to promote real tax justice on a national and international level, and not just talk about the urgently needed stronger taxation of the super rich.
Gates’ conversation with YouTuber Marques Brownlee, whose tech channel has over 10 million subscribers, was recorded on January 23, 2020.
