In a surprising turn of events, tech mogul Elon Musk has expressed his disapproval of Melinda French Gates' recent presidential endorsement. Musk went as far as suggesting that her endorsement of President Joe Biden could potentially lead to the downfall of western civilization. The criticism comes amidst a series of public disagreements between Musk and various influential figures.

French Gates, on Thursday, publicly endorsed President Joe Biden through an X post, breaking her tradition of not endorsing presidential candidates in the past. In her post, she emphasized the critical importance of this election for women and families, stating that staying silent was no longer an option.

This is not the first time Musk has openly criticized the actions of high-profile figures. Earlier this year, he expressed his disdain towards MacKenzie Scott, ex-wife of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, for her charitable giving. Musk deleted a post where he commented that "super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse" were among the reasons for the supposed decline of western civilization.

It appears that French Gates' endorsement of Biden has now landed her a spot on Musk's list of billionaire exes he views unfavorably. This animosity towards French Gates may also stem from Musk's distaste for President Biden himself. Tesla's exclusion from the 2021 electric-vehicle summit organized by the president and his praise for traditional automakers like GM and Ford have further fueled Musk's discontent.

Musk's biographer, Walter Isaacson, has previously quoted him as expressing frustration towards Bill Gates, French Gates' former spouse and co-founder of Microsoft. Musk accused Gates of hypocrisy, citing Gates' decision to short Tesla's stock despite claiming to be passionate about combating climate change.

While Musk's criticism of French Gates' endorsement showcases his divided views, he has refrained from endorsing former President Donald Trump outright. Nevertheless, Musk's recent comments at a Tesla shareholder meeting imply a growing connection between him and Trump. Musk revealed that he had received unexpected phone calls from the former president, who he described as "very nice."

Despite the controversial remarks, representatives for both Musk and French Gates have chosen not to comment on the matter at this time. The clash of opinions between these influential figures continues to generate interest among the public and raises questions about the influence of high-profile endorsements in political campaigns.
