The tech world is once again in turmoil as billionaire Elon Musk officially calls for a boycott of Bill Gates’ Microsoft, causing a stir in public opinion. In a social media post, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO did not hesitate to declare that “people deserve to know the truth behind Microsoft”, implying that the tech giant is hiding unimaginable things.

The relationship between Elon Musk and Bill Gates has long been tense as the two have opposing views on technology, artificial intelligence and climate change. Musk has previously criticized Gates for investing in companies that bet on Tesla’s failure. In turn, Gates has repeatedly been publicly skeptical of Musk’s vision for AI and electric vehicles.

But this time, Musk’s call to boycott Microsoft has taken the confrontation to a new level. According to insiders, Musk believes that Microsoft is manipulating the technology market in a non-transparent way and abusing its power to control user data.

What Is Microsoft Hiding?
Although no specific evidence has been provided, insiders believe Musk is referring to:

Microsoft’s monopoly: The company has long been accused of controlling the software market, stifling innovation and competition.

User data: Microsoft is suspected of collecting and using data in a non-transparent way through products like Windows, Office, and even AI like Copilot.

OpenAI controversy: Microsoft has close ties to OpenAI – the company behind ChatGPT. Musk was a co-founder of OpenAI but left and has repeatedly accused OpenAI of not being true to its original mission.
How did netizens react?
Following Musk’s statement, a wave of calls to boycott Microsoft spread on social media. Some people supported Musk, saying that Microsoft really needs to be more transparent. But some people also criticize Musk for trying to manipulate public opinion for his own benefit, especially when he is developing competitors such as xAI and Grok AI.

Has Microsoft Responded?
Currently, Microsoft has not officially responded to Musk’s accusations. However, experts predict that this tech giant will not sit idly by in the face of calls for a boycott from one of the most powerful billionaires in the world.

Will Elon Musk really expose the secret behind Microsoft or is this just a media stunt? Let’s wait and see!
