Elon Musk Calls Melinda French Gates ‘Might be the Downfall of Western Civilization’ for Endorsing Biden

Elon Musk has added Melinda French Gates to his list of billionaire ex-wives who may contribute to the downfall of Western civilization after she endorsed President Joe Biden. Musk expressed his discontent by stating, "Might be the downfall of Western civilization," in response to Gates' endorsement.

Musk's Criticism of Billionaire Ex-Wives

This is not the first time Musk has criticized a billionaire's ex-wife. In March, he targeted MacKenzie Scott for her charitable work, suggesting that "super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse" could be among the reasons for the decline of Western civilization.

Gates' Endorsement of Biden

Melinda French Gates made her first-ever presidential endorsement by publicly supporting Joe Biden. She emphasized the significance of this election for women and families, prompting Musk's negative reaction.

Musk's Disapproval of Gates and Biden

Musk's disapproval extends to Bill Gates as well, stemming from the Microsoft founder's actions that affected Tesla's stock. Additionally, Musk has criticized President Biden for excluding Tesla from an electric-vehicle summit and for his handling of certain issues.

Musk's Relationship with Trump

While Musk has criticized Biden, he has not explicitly endorsed former President Donald Trump. However, Musk has mentioned growing closer to Trump, revealing that he receives random phone calls from the former president, who he described as "very nice" during their conversations.

Representatives for Musk and Gates have not provided comments regarding this matter.
