Breaking News: Elon Musk calls for a massive boycott of Bill Gates’ Microsoft, declares ‘Everyone deserves to know the truth’!
The tech world was rocked by an earthquake on Wednesday night when Elon Musk, the billionaire visionary behind Tesla, SpaceX and the X platform, issued an explosive call for a mass boycott of Microsoft, the company led by Bill Gates. In a series of tweets that racked up more than 20 million views in just a few hours, Musk declared, “Everyone deserves to know the truth,” accompanying his message with documents and innuendos suggesting questionable practices by the tech giant. The revelation, marked by the hashtag #BoycottMicrosoft, set off a global social media frenzy, putting Musk and Gates, two titans of innovation, on a collision course.
The conflict began when Musk posted on X at 11:45 p.m. PST, stating, “Bill Gates’ Microsoft is hiding dirty secrets—monopoly, data manipulation, and more. I’m calling on everyone to boycott until the truth comes out.” He attached what appear to be internal emails and leaked financial reports, alleging that Microsoft used anticompetitive practices to stifle competitors like Tesla and OpenAI, as well as unethically exploiting user data. While the documents have not been independently verified, the impact was immediate, with X users sharing screenshots and demanding transparency.
Bill Gates, 69, the Microsoft co-founder and renowned philanthropist, responded Thursday morning in a statement: “Elon Musk’s allegations are unfounded and sensationalized. Microsoft operates with integrity and is open to investigation. This seems like another distraction tactic from someone seeking attention.” Gates also suggested that Musk may be retaliating after recent criticism of X’s management, which has faced accusations of censorship and misinformation in 2024.
