Elon Musk Says He Wouldn’t Let Bill Gates ‘Babysit His Kid’ Because of Epstein Ties in Scorched Earth Attack
Elon Musk went scorched earth on his burgeoning rival Bill Gates on Tuesday — even going so far as to call out the Microsoft co-founder’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaking via satellite with the BBC’s Mishal Husain at the Qatar Economic Forum, the Tesla boss teed off on Gates — who, in a CNN interview on May 9, blasted DOGE’s gutting of USAID, saying it would result in “millions of deaths.”
“He’s a huge liar!” Musk said in response. “That’s terrible.”
Musk then followed up by taking a huge personal shot at the Microsoft co-founder.
“Who does Bill Gates think he is to make comments about the welfare of children given that he was close friends with Jeffrey Epstein?”
Musk added, “I wouldn’t want that guy to babysit my kid, I can tell you that.”
The remarks Tuesday are just the latest salvo in what has become a nasty feud between the two moguls. In a May 8 interview with the Financial Times, Gates said of Musk, “The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one.” He also called Musk’s support of far-right world leaders “insane shit.” Last July, Musk called for “more scrutiny” of the Gates Foundation — the philanthropic organization founded by Gates and his wife, Melinda French Gates.
