That time Elon asked Samsung to make 1 BILLION chips..... ....and that was just the start

Bill Gates visited Elon at the Tesla Giga Texas factory and told him straight up: "It’s impossible to have a long-range semi-truck. It doesn’t work" Elon replied: "We literally have them. Drive one yourself. Pepsi is using them RIGHT NOW" Gates just kept saying: "No, it doesn't work" Today, Tesla Semis are hauling cargo 425 miles for one of the biggest companies on Earth Imagine being this confidently wrong, refusing to accept reality, and somehow the media still sells him as a "climate expert" 🤡
