After Gates said he bought himself an all-electric Porsche Taycan, Tesla's CEO took to Twitter to throw shade at the Microsoft co-founder.

"My conversations with Gates have been underwhelming tbh ," Musk tweeted.with popular YouTuber Marques Brownlee. Brownlee, mentioning Tesla, asked the billionaire about efforts to address climate change with clean energy products like electric cars.

The 64-year-old responded by saying that electric vehicles would still fall behind gasoline cars when it comes to range, but added passenger cars are "one of the most hopeful" factors in bringing down the cost of environmentally-friendly alternatives.

Tesla Model S is superior in every way and half the price.

I have been questioning a lot of things lately (“Relevance” in Jury Trials, Private Equity cash & shorts, our VPs spouse choice of schools, and if I should have a life outside of Twitter)...1 more thing I want to tackle though is the value of voting shares & Facebook DICKS...

Which is better Tesla or Porsche? Porsche!

Good choice. At least he wont have the horrendous panel gaps that Tesla has.

LOL, the love affair is over.... Wait, this is nothing but a Publicity Stunt.

I saw the Tayxan on the latest episode of the British show Top Gear. I’d have one too, it’s brilliant.

For ME? It is not nescessary ( Keeper)

It's probably coz Bill thinks Teslas are not really premium like Porsche and that Tesla's are too cheap for him. 😐

So now customer preference is bad ...

I’m guessing Gates really didn’t care what Musk had to say?

Envy!!

Read, news a joke these days.

Gates is a brilliant marketer. He got people to use and keep using Windows which is the most God awful OS ever made. Apple rules!

BERNIE SANDERS!!!!

Elon Musk has done amazing things, but he really is a petty little thin-skinned man. The Porche Taycan is a gorgeous car, nothing Tesla makes looks half as cool. If I were Bill Gates, I’d buy one too. Elon should just say Teslas are more affordable instead of acting like a child.

☦️🛐✝️✝️🙈🙉

When Barry made his statement, 'You didn't build that; someone else mad that happen,' he was referencing the purported accomplishments of people like Gates who is merely a chosen actor presenting the ideas of others. It's no surprise that Gates seems mediocre to a real thinker.

200 point hike in Tesla stock tomorrow for Bill Gates Tesla Buy optimism 😂

Please I need help will you help me

Apparently they made a big impact on Gates- 'No way am I buying a car from this bullshit artist, lemme go look at the Porsche......'

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Elon Trump

You gotta love Elon Musk‼️an underwhelming Bill Gates.

ShortingIsFun “Ah um eh ah um” Sure Elon

Not sure where elonmusk was going though, am no fan of Bill Gates but in this case if this was to tease Gates decision for buying an electric Porsche, it was pretty bad. Gates has a right to pick what he wants.

He looked very haggard!

Both elonmusk and BillGates are underwhelming in this story. Neither of them drives an energy independent electric vehicle. (e.g. capable of charging itself by deploying a renewable energy system like KiteTurbine)

That's a compliment to bill

What are you? TMZ?

SOLARLIFE Nostalgic

The Tesla as amazing as it is, has issues with batteries blowing up and electrical issues. Sounds like Elon is butt hurt that Bill didn't buy his product, hilarious.

Porsche Taycan 💚

I would probably buy the Porsche too just because it's something new on the road. Teslas are everywhere now, it's boring

Seriously, that’s news? What about the fact that Steve Jobs bought a Mac over a Windows PC? Now that was news.....

U can’t call Gates underwhelming. Elon smoking dope again

who cares... how this insignificant event is able to make the news ? 🙄

Ouch!!!

ok, he can still rent a Tesla if he needs it - random stuff

Why Musk cannot be a sport.. Just shut up

Will Trump be very unhappy, because even American people are buying foreign country cars. Sad, America first is just a distant dream.

I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT AN ECONOMY CAR

I'm bored

It’s his money

Bill Gates has always driven a Porsche. It's an 80's thing.

Who cares what musk thinks

The Porsche Taycan is better in overall luxury design than anything Tesla makes; anything!

The Taycan is a great machine, pretty sure mr musk agrees

It's his money, of course, but I would have purchased the Tesla Roadster. Over 600 miles per charge, 0-60 in less than two seconds. Plus, it's American!

The Taycan is a great machine, pretty sure elin musk agrees

Who cares what this reptile buys? We are concern about his involvement with multiple diseases acting as if He cares whereas we know what is the agenda behind it.

one of the richest men in the world bought a Porsche.

Slow news day guys? LOL
