Fellow billionaire, Bill Gates, has been involved in an epic feud with Mr Musk which is reported to have ignited after two of the richest people on the planet met in 2022. Musk is the richest, with a net worth of £338billion ($425.2bn), according to Forbes' real time billionaires list.

Elon Musk criticizes UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's handling of the grooming gang scandal and accuses billionaires George Soros and Bill Gates of political interference in Europe.

Trump and Gates initially met in December 2016, prior to Trump's first term as president. Since Trump's recent election victory, numerous tech CEOs have sought meetings with him, aiming to establish a positive relationship with the president-elect.
