Elon Musk called out former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates again for shorting Tesla’s stock, casting doubts on his goodwill in fighting climate change given the latter’s multi-billion-dollar bet against the electric carmaker.

In a series of Twitter posts, Musk disclosed Gates’ short position would now require up to $2 billion to close out. The position was initially $500 million before the business “went up a lot,” according to the Tesla CEO.
