I made this screen capture of the top 2 tweets in Elon Musk's feed:
The image next to Gates is the new "pregnant man" emoji from Apple.
I don't know what "Moving on..." refers to.
ADDED: The Gates/pregnant man image is only funny because of the happenstance of the blue shirt.
Also, on reflection, I think Musk is just "Moving on..." from the fuss over the pregnant Gates tweet — a fuss that he's mocked like this:
ALSO: Musk later expanded on his "Moving on" tweet: He's moving on "(from making fun of Gates for shorting Tesla while claiming to support climate change action)."shadow ban council reviewing tweet … pic.twitter.com/cawjtwc7CW

I seriously doubt an obviously post-menopausal Bill Gates is pregnant. More likely, he's just full of shit.
When a man insults another man’s appearance, it’s not shaming — it’s an assertion of dominance.
Two environmentalists walk in to a bar…
Correctly or not, Musk sees short selling Telsa stocks as a direct threat to him, and Gates admitted to Musk that he has a half a billion short position in Telsa. Because of that, Musk refuses to cooperate with Gates on any billionaire to billionaire environmental stuff, saying Gates is trying to torpedo the most successful environmental initiative out there, Tesla.
So it's personal.
And yes, men don't "shame" each other. They insult, make fun of, and harass each other, but whoever came up with the term "fat shaming" is an idiot.
You know what's an assertion of dominance? Censorship. Deplatforming. Cancelling.
Bill’s body cries out “unsustainability”.
The background question is why the Emoji Design Lords didn't foresee that their new woke icon would be instantly used to insult average older men with beer bellies. On top of this, the blue shirt makes the preggers-man look like a pudgy Star Trek star or fan at a convention. Were they secretly anti-William Shatner?!?! Anti-Trekkies? Anti-CosPlay?
Time to call the Woke Police for a sympathetic emoji that empowers them. Or, eliminate preggers-man as offensive and much worse than the "ok" dog whistle symbol!
You'd be surprised by some of the people who have referenced other people's weight in an insulting manner......
Shadow ban council was funnier, but preggers Gates was funny enough to post unless you think THIS SUBJECT IS OFF LIMITS REGARDLESS OF HUMOR VALUE.
"In case u need to loose a boner real fast."
"My Cuntry Boner... won't go down."
NSFW
Besides, it’s a compliment to Gates to suggest that he appears to be of child-bearing age.
Looks just like him.
When I try to push mine down my heels come up.
Is Gates the one that wants us all to eat plant based and investing big time into fake meat? I certainly do want to follow any food plan he is involved with. He does look like crap.
The shadow ban part really made it all work though. Musk should run for president. Would the deep state allow it. Probably not.
A month or two back Musk sent a silver medal to Jeff bezos.
It said "world's 2nd richest man"

Musk should run for president.
He can't, he was born in South Africa.
Having Asperger's means never having to say you're sorry (and never knowing where the limits are).
The problem isn't making fun of Gates or insulting him. It's billionaires saying "boner" and putting that image in people's minds.
I suppose it's an effort to get away from the JD Rockefeller, JP Getty, Scrooge McDuck, Montgomery Burns skinflint image or the George Soros, Jeff Bezos Bond villain stereotype and Elon wants us to know or think that he's a fun guy -- strange enough, but not so different from the rest of us jerks and slobs.
This reminds me of the story that the Indian name for the Comanche chief known as “Buffalo Hump” translates to “Erection that won’t go down.”
A story too good to fact check if you ask me.
(He should have sought immediate medical attention after four hours but — Comanche).
The facial expression on the Apple emoji is hilarious. It looks like he's thinking, "How did this happen?"
Bill's not getting enough exercise. He needs another trip to Epstein's island.
Metabolic disorder belly.
Forget the world, looks like Gates needs to save himself. Good grief.
Transgenderism is politically congruent, but an evolutionary awkward fitness. As for the belly, dietary fat is not equal to body fat, and self-moderation is a virtue.
That Bill Gates meme has been going around MemeWorld for at least a month. All Elon did was serendipitously bridge the two worlds for a perfectly timed insult.
The real story is that the world's richest man spends a lot of time in MemeWorld. He is definitely a GenX nerd to his core.
If Gates self-identifies as pregnant, then we are obligated to agree, right?
Memes do cut to the quick, when the meaning of a poison pill is beyond the scope of 280 calories.

I'll have whatever it is they're giving him.
Musk Chow builds strong financial statements 12 ways.
Starting with the government subsidies.
Should have used a condom, bro. Don't they teach sex-ed any more?
I bet the crooked creeps who run NBC regret having Musk on SNL.
Gotta maintain the 100% pro D-corruptocratical hivemind doctrine.
A quick and honestly asked question: How many people commenting here think old Elon, or for that matter any celebrity or politician, posts their own tweets? Isn't that what publicists do for people like that? I'm pretty damn sure Joe Biden doesn't know a Tweet from a hand saw, and I bet Elon, Jeff, Bill, Katy Perry and the Kardashians aren't slaving over a hot keyboard in person delivering tweets to their followers.
Gates been skipping leg day and arm day and abs day, but no meals at all.
'The facial expression on the Apple emoji is hilarious. It looks like he's thinking, "How did this happen?"'
Oh, he knows how it happened : )
Say what you will about Musk, at least he seems to have a sense of humor.
Mikee,
I doubt Musk writes all of his tweets, but he definitely writes some of them, and probably a majority of them, though he probably just tells his assistants what to write.
Starting with the government subsidies.
1) Musk never lobbies for government subsidies, in fact he opposes them.
2) The whole purpose of the government creating subsidies is to encourage people like Musk to take advantage of them. Anyone can take advantage of them, Musk just happens to be the one who does it.
3) Musk literally put his money where his mouth is. He could have retired to a life of unimaginable luxury many times over, instead he continues to create a better future for humanity.
4) All government loans have been repaid with interest. None of his contracts are cost plus.
“Musk Chow builds strong financial statements 12 ways.

I don’t think the government should be subsidizing particular technologies (and punishing others) but should Musk turn down the subsidies?
A while back parler and gettr (Twitter like platforms) were shut down when Amazon web services decided to stop hosting them.
Rumble.com a pretty good free speech alternative to YouTube, did not want to run this risk and built out a similar web services.
This makes rumble hard to block but it could still be blocked by isps as in China blocking certain non Chinese sites.
Now they are offering the service to the public as a platform for free speech websites. Pdjt's truthsocial.com just went live on it.
Last week I had read that one of the reasons Musk my be buying Twitter is to have content for Starlink.
On the surface, this does not make a lot of sense since Starlink has the whole internet for content.
But what if the free speech version of Twitter is seen as a threat and gets banned at the isp level? What happens if Starlink is the only place you can get Twitter? And rumble. And Truth and so on.
Or an uncensored version of weibo in China and so on.
That would be a huge marketing tool for Starlink worldwide
And them as don't like it can shake their fists at the sky. And that will be all they can do.

I don't know either guy--in fact I know very few billionaires--but it seems unlikely to me that Musk would delegate the jibe at Fatso.
Speaking as a big guy who carried the mass equivalent of a small child around for decades, it ain't that hard to lose it if you try. I went from being one of the paunchiest guys to . . . not slender, exactly, but much less bulky.
Feels better too.
I think it's illegal to mock Democrat tech giants.
to the gulag. Re-education!
A quick and honestly asked question: How many people commenting here think old Elon, or for that matter any celebrity or politician, posts their own tweets?
There was a hilarious example of this some years ago when Barbra Streisand send a FAX to a Democrat candidate for president. Instead of having it composed by an assistant, she wrote it herself. It showed that she is barely literate. It might have been written by a five year old.
I think she sent it to Dick Gephart.
A man with beer belly, presenting as a woman with baby.
It's because he's African-American.
n.n. @ 12:16: "A man with beer belly, presenting as a woman with baby." All these comments about male bellies and pregnancy remind me of the old joke. A woman walking down the street sees a guy lounging in a chair on his front lawn drinking a beer. He's got a great big beer belly. She huffs, "What a disgusting sight! If that belly were on a woman, I'd say she was pregnant!"
To which the man replies, "Ma'am, it was and she is."
Gates is clearly fat as is Stacey Abrams. Would love to have a look at what these fatsos gobble every day. Good bet that Stacey leans into fried vittles
"I don’t think the government should be subsidizing particular technologies (and punishing others) but should Musk turn down the subsidies?"
Arguably, yes. If subsidies are pernicious, then accepting them is robbing your fellow citizens. But that's a very high bar, and I doubt that any of us could get over it. I certainly can't claim that my financial situation has never been improved by accepting government largesse.
What one can say, however, is that the fact Musk's immense wealth depends entirely upon his ability to jump when the government says "Jump!", and ask "How high?" on the way up, calls into question his supposed technical brilliance. It is laughable that Tesla, which produces a few novelty items for the luxury trade, is valued at many multiples of companies like Ford and GM, which produce and sell millions of vehicles every year. That is probably why Gates has shorted Tesla. If and when that balloon finally pops, Gates will have the last chuckle.
"A quick and honestly asked question: How many people commenting here think old Elon, or for that matter any celebrity or politician, posts their own tweets?"
Considering that Musk uses his tweets to manage his brand, and his immense wealth is based entirely on public perception of that brand, I would be very surprised if he ever allows anyone else to issue a tweet in his name. But I would expect he has other people research topics he tweets about.
"Gates admitted to Musk that he has a half a billion short position in Telsa."
Interesting. Probably a good play. I expect EVs to crash and burn in the mid-term (long-term, I assume they are inevitable). The car companies, which are apparently abandoning the ICE, are going to learn there's not the demand for EVs that they seem to think. For very practical reasons: there aren't the resources to build them in the numbers needed, the charging stations don't exist in the numbers needed, the power generation capacity doesn't exist in the numbers needed, and nobody wants to spend 1/2-hour twiddling his thumbs waiting for his vehicle to charge. If I were a stock-investor (instead of an index fund guy) I'd be shorting this technology too.
Musk shouldn't take it personally.
Elon Musk is funnier than most stand-up comedians, and the entirety of SNL.
are going to learn there's not the demand for EVs that they seem to think.
Tesla delivered a record breaking number of cars in the first quarter, and has already sold every car they will build this year, all without spending a dime on advertising.

If anyone comments on my beer gut, I just tell them it's my unborn twin.

The subsidies went to the customers. Tesla got government money by selling carbon credits.
is laughable that Tesla, which produces a few novelty items for the luxury trade, is valued at many multiples of companies like Ford and GM, which produce and sell millions of vehicles every year.
Compare Tesla's first quarter report to any other car maker in the world, and then get back to me.
IOW, cucks bet against a brighter future
"Tesla delivered a record breaking number of cars in the first quarter, and has already sold every car they will build this year, all without spending a dime on advertising."
EV sales are 3%.
I'm not saying nobody wants one. They have their place; second car, urban dweller.
Apple is slowly turning itself into a woke joke. I keep on waiting for their next "innovation" is to have predictive texting that keeps you from using "unwords" or problematic phrasing or wrong think. Its for our own good you know.
Howard: "IOW, cucks bet against a brighter future"
The suspicion is Gates, as an establishment globalist insider, may be privvy to promises of a future Biden admin Treasury/SEC/DOJ/FBI attack on Musk and Tesla, thereby guaranteeing a big payoff for Gates and other insiders shorting Tesla.
'If I were a stock-investor (instead of an index fund guy) I'd be shorting this technology too.'
@Original Mike...
You don't understand, our overlords are outlawing ICE vehicles as we speak.
Existing ones will be grandfathered in.
After that you will have no choice.
It's not about what you want.
