Bill Gates Wants Elon Musk To Talk About Climate But Tesla CEO Thinks Climate Change Alarm Is Exaggerated: 'He'll Talk About Whatever He Feels Like'
Microsoft Corp. co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates wishes that Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk would talk more about climate change but the latter might not.
微软公司的共同创始人、亿万富翁比尔·盖茨希望特斯拉公司的首席执行官埃隆·马斯克能多谈谈气候变化，但后者可能不会。
What Happened: "He talks a lot. I hope he will talk more about climate," Gates, known for his contributions to solving climate change, said with a laugh in an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday.
新闻概述：在周四接受彭博社采访时，盖茨（以解决气候变化的贡献而闻名）笑着说：“他说了很多话。我希望他能多谈谈气候问题。”
When asked by Bloomberg's Senior Executive Editor for Energy, Climate and Equality, John Fraher, as to what he would like Musk to talk about when he talks about climate, Gates said, "I don't think he'll listen to anybody telling him what to talk about. So. You know, he's unique and he'll talk about whatever he feels like."
当彭博社的高级执行编辑约翰·弗莱尔问及马斯克在谈论气候问题时，盖茨希望他谈论什么，盖茨说：“我不认为有人能告诉他该谈什么话。你知道的，他很与众不同，他会谈论他想谈论的任何事情。”
Gates also applauded Musk in the interview, commending his efforts in driving the car industry towards electric vehicles. Musk's Tesla is the world's largest battery electric vehicle seller with 443,956 EVs sold in the second quarter alone.
在采访中，盖茨还赞扬了马斯克，称赞他在推动汽车行业向新能源汽车方向发展的努力。马斯克的特斯拉是世界上最大的电动汽车销售商，在第二季度销售了443,956辆电动汽车。
Musk's Take On Climate Change: Musk, however, thinks that climate change risk is "overstated in the near-term."
马斯克对气候变化的看法：然而，马斯克认为短期内气候变化的风险“被夸大了”。他在6月份发表的X文章中写道：“短期内气候变化风险被夸大了，但长期来看可能是准确的。”他还表示，各个行业必须减少向大气中排放的碳排放量。
"Climate change risk is overstated in the near-term, but probably accurate in the long-term," Musk wrote on X in June while adding that industries must reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
马斯克表示：“短期内气候变化风险被夸大了，但长期来看可能是准确的。”他补充说，各行业必须减少向大气中排放的碳排放量。
"What people do on the surface is essentially irrelevant," Musk said while adding that taxing dairy farmers for the emissions released by their cattle as proposed by the country of Denmark 'won't matter' for climate change.
马斯克表示：“人们在表面上做什么基本上是无关紧要的。”他补充说，对于丹麦政府提出的对乳制品生产商征税的提议，认为这对气候变化“毫无影响”。
The truth is somewhere in the middle.

Climate change risk is overstated in the near-term, but probably accurate in the long-term.
All that matters is how many billions of tons of carbon are transferred from deep underground into the atmosphere and oceans, aka the "surface...
事实在某种程度上居于中间。

马斯克表示：“短期内气候变化的风险被夸大了，但长期来看可能是准确的。”
所有板块的重要主要在于有多少亿吨碳从地下转移到大气层和海洋中，即“表面...”
Why It Matters: Gates and Musk have a strained relationship, mostly owing to Gates' short position in Tesla stock. "Once Tesla fully solves autonomy and has Optimus in volume production, anyone still holding a short position will be obliterated. Even Gates," Musk said earlier this month.
为什么它很重要：盖茨与马斯克的关系紧张，这主要是由于盖茨在特斯拉股票上持有空头头寸。马斯克本月早些时候表示：“一旦特斯拉完全解决自主权问题并大规模生产优秀车型，任何仍持有空头头寸的人都将被摧毁。连盖茨都不例外。”
Gates, however, has also previously applauded Musk. In an appearance on CNBC in 2021, Gates said, "We need more Elon Musks."
然而，盖茨此前也曾赞扬过马斯克。在2021年CNBC的一次采访中，盖茨说："我们需要更多的埃隆·马斯克。"
Both Gates and Musk are among the top five rich people around the globe. While Musk tops the chart with a total net worth of $264 billion, Gates is in the fifth position with a total net worth of $160 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
盖茨和马斯克都是全球排名前五的富豪之一。马斯克以总净资产2640亿美元名列榜首，盖茨以总净资产1600亿美元名列第五，据彭博亿万富翁指数。
