In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the tech industry, Elon Musk, the outspoken CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has publicly called for a boycott of Bill Gates\u2019s Microsoft Corporation.\n\n\n\n The feud between the two billionaires has escalated dramatically, with Musk accusing Microsoft of stifling innovation and monopolizing key areas of the tech world.\n\n\n\n The rivalry between Musk and Gates is nothing new, but recent events seem to have reignited tensions.\n\n\n\n Musk took to social media to criticize Microsoft for its alleged \u201canti-competitive practices,\u201d claiming the company is using its market dominance to suppress smaller competitors in fields like cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and software development.\n\n\n\n \u201cMicrosoft is not fostering innovation; they\u2019re crushing it,\u201d Musk tweeted, sparking widespread debate online.\n\n\n\n Musk also took a jab at Gates\u2019s philanthropic endeavors, suggesting that his investments in green energy are overshadowed by Microsoft\u2019s continued reliance on energy-hungry data centers.\n\n\n\n While Musk has not provided detailed evidence to support his accusations, insiders believe the feud may stem from Microsoft\u2019s recent partnership with OpenAI.\n\n\n\n The tech giant has poured billions into the AI powerhouse, which Musk co-founded but later distanced himself from due to disagreements over its direction.\n\n\n\n Musk has been vocal about his concerns regarding the dangers of unchecked artificial intelligence, and he has frequently criticized Microsoft\u2019s influence over OpenAI.\n\n\n\n \u201cAI is one of the most transformative technologies of our time, and it should not be controlled by a single entity,\u201d Musk said in a recent interview.\n\n\n\n Musk\u2019s call for a boycott has sparked a mixed response. Some of his supporters have rallied behind him, accusing Microsoft of monopolistic practices and calling for greater transparency in the tech industry.\n\n\n\n \u201cI stand with Elon. Microsoft has too much power over our data and our future,\u201d one user posted on X, Musk\u2019s social media platform.\n\n\n\n However, critics argue that Musk\u2019s remarks are hypocritical, given Tesla\u2019s dominance in the electric vehicle market and SpaceX\u2019s growing control over satellite internet services.\n\n\n\n \u201cPot, meet kettle. Musk criticizing Microsoft for monopolistic behavior is rich,\u201d said one tech analyst.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
