Ahead of Battery day, Musk says Gates has 'no clue' about electric trucks

Elon Musk has hit back at  Bill Gates who earlier cast doubt on his ability to develop electric vehicles for long-haul travel. A Twitter follower asked Musk about his opinion on Gates' comment, and he replied: "He has no clue".

Gates wrote late August that the problem with long-haul electric vehicles is that batteries are big and heavy. He pointed to biofuels -- rather than battery power -- as a possible solution for commercial vehicles.
