"Since Gates still has a multi-billion dollar short position against Tesla while claiming to help with global warming, I guess I have some trust issues with him too," Musk wrote in a Tweet stream discussing Gates.
Gates, meanwhile, has been publicly asked about whether or not he has a short position, but he told CNBC last year: "I don't talk about my investments".
