Are Elon Musk and Bill Gates friends? Many people have wondered about this throughout their amazing careers, as these two titans of industry have often stood on opposite sides of tech debates. However, it does appear that Musk and Gates have a bit of a friendship.<\/p>\n

To begin with, both Gates and Musk have often spoken admiringly of each other in public. Gates has spoken of Musk’s “ambition”, while Musk has said that he has been “inspired” by Gates. Both tech moguls have even collaborated in the past on the issue of artificial intelligence. They both agreed that AI could potentially cause a revolution in the tech industry, while also cautioning against the potential of AI infringing on ethical boundaries.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Musk and Gates have been known to spar on different issues, such as electric cars. After Gates himself invested in electric car company Rivian, Musk was quick to take a jab at Gates’ previous investments in fossil-fuel companies. However, it appears that the two tech giants can still laugh off these kinds of jibes and maintain a healthy relationship.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting that for someone who rarely gives interviews, Musk has been known to have a sit down interview with none other than Bill Gates himself. Considering it is so rare for Musk to speak to the press, the willingness to sit down with Gates seems to indicate that the two genuinely care for each other, or at least have a common respect.<\/p>\n
