#数字资产市场动态 The former world’s richest man, Bill Gates, also experienced a setback, suffering a disastrous loss in his short-selling endeavors😂

In 2022, he personally invested $500 million betting on Tesla’s decline, but the more the stock fell, the more he increased his position, even adding leverage. At his largest, his holdings accounted for 1% of Tesla’s shares. Since then, he has not publicly disclosed his trading moves, and no one knows if he managed to cut losses in time.

According to recent leaks, if he has not closed his position, the unrealized loss on paper has already exceeded $10 billion. How uncertain must one be to operate from this perspective? Looking at recent market trends, there have been quite a few cases of large short positions being exposed. Retail investors should be even more cautious.

Ha, even Bill Gates has had a setback. It seems no one can always bet correctly on the market. Shorting Tesla with leverage? How confident do you have to be? 500 million isn't enough to keep throwing in. Over 10 billion in unrealized losses and still not speaking up—rich people's pain points are indeed different. Retail investors, don't follow this approach; your account can't handle it.

I want to say, Gates' move is really outrageous. Using $500 million with leverage to short Tesla—how confident must he be? As a result, he directly incurred a floating loss of over 10 billion, which cracked me up.

Even the richest people can fail, showing that short selling is really not as simple as it seems.

Even the richest people can crash, showing that short selling is truly a life-and-death gamble. Leverage is just a trap.

Haha, even Gates got caught. This move is really brilliant—leveraging to short Tesla and continuously adding positions. How blind can one be? Retail investors, take note—if the big players can lose like this, we should be more cautious and not get played by the market. But honestly, a floating loss of 10 billion is also extreme. If you haven't closed the position yet, given Tesla's current trend, there's less and less hope.
