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'
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.
微軟公司的共同創始人、億萬富翁比爾·蓋茨希望特斯拉公司的首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克能多談談氣候變化，但後者可能不會。
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.
新聞概述：在週四接受彭博社採訪時，蓋茨（以解決氣候變化的貢獻而聞名）笑着說：“他說了很多話。我希望他能多談談氣候問題。”
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."
當彭博社的高級執行編輯約翰·弗萊爾問及馬斯克在談論氣候問題時，蓋茨希望他談論什麼，蓋茨說：“我不認爲有人能告訴他該談什麼話。你知道的，他很與衆不同，他會談論他想談論的任何事情。”
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.
在採訪中，蓋茨還讚揚了馬斯克，稱讚他在推動汽車行業向新能源汽車方向發展的努力。馬斯克的特斯拉是世界上最大的電動汽車銷售商，在第二季度銷售了443,956輛電動汽車。
Musk's Take On Climate Change: Musk, however, thinks that climate change risk is "overstated in the near-term."
馬斯克對氣候變化的看法：然而，馬斯克認爲短期內氣候變化的風險“被誇大了”。他在6月份發表的X文章中寫道：“短期內氣候變化風險被誇大了，但長期來看可能是準確的。”他還表示，各個行業必須減少向大氣中排放的碳排放量。
"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.
馬斯克表示：“短期內氣候變化風險被誇大了，但長期來看可能是準確的。”他補充說，各行業必須減少向大氣中排放的碳排放量。
"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.
馬斯克表示：“人們在表面上做什麼基本上是無關緊要的。”他補充說，對於丹麥政府提出的對乳製品生產商徵稅的提議，認爲這對氣候變化“毫無影響”。
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...
事實在某種程度上居於中間。

馬斯克表示：“短期內氣候變化的風險被誇大了，但長期來看可能是準確的。”
所有板塊的重要主要在於有多少億噸碳從地下轉移到大氣層和海洋中，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.
爲什麼它很重要：蓋茨與馬斯克的關係緊張，這主要是由於蓋茨在特斯拉股票上持有空頭頭寸。馬斯克本月早些時候表示：“一旦特斯拉完全解決自主權問題並大規模生產優秀車型，任何仍持有空頭頭寸的人都將被摧毀。連蓋茨都不例外。”
Gates, however, has also previously applauded Musk. In an appearance on CNBC in 2021, Gates said, "We need more Elon Musks."
然而，蓋茨此前也曾讚揚過馬斯克。在2021年CNBC的一次採訪中，蓋茨說："我們需要更多的埃隆·馬斯克。"
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.
蓋茨和馬斯克都是全球排名前五的富豪之一。馬斯克以總淨資產2640億美元名列榜首，蓋茨以總淨資產1600億美元名列第五，據彭博億萬富翁指數。
