Musk Tries to Sting Gates WIth Crude ‘Pregnant Man’ Tweet

Elon Musk has ruffled feathers by comparing Bill Gates to an emoji addressing transgender people

and it all seems to stem from a back-and-forth they had that left Elon pissed.

The Tesla chief tweeted an insult at the Microsoft co-founder Friday, posting a side-by-side photo of BG next to an emoji of a pregnant man

Musk captioned the puerile tweet: “in case u need to lose a boner fast.”

He followed up by jokingly tweeting a picture of cloaked figures coming together in a circle and writing, "shadow ban council reviewing tweet …"

seemingly aware his OG tweet might be seen as offensive. It's also undoubtedly connected to his current bid to buy Twitter.
