FACT CHECK: Has Bill Gates Announced A 3 Million Bid To Buy X?
SHARE

A viral post shared on Facebook claims Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates has purportedly announced a $333 million bid to buy X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter.

Verdict: False

Gates has not shared a statement on his website or his verified social media accounts announcing the purported bid, and there is no other evidence to support the claim. A spokesperson for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation denied the claim’s validity in an email to Check Your Fact.

Fact Check:

Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk said the outages that the platform experienced on March 10 were due to a “massive cyberattack” with “IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area,” according to CNN. Outages on the platform began around 6 a.m. ET, the outlet reported, citing the outage tracking site DownDetector.

The Facebook post, which has received 38,000 likes as of writing, claims Gates has purportedly announced a $333 million bid to buy X.

“Bill Gates Makes Bold Move Against Elon Musk, Announcing $333 Million Bid for X….,” the post, which does not provide a source to support its claim, reads. The post also features side-by-side photos of Gates and Musk.

Besides Facebook, the claim circulated on X and Threads. (RELATED: Has The US Bar Association Suspended Jack Smith’s Law License?)

The claim is false. Gates has not shared a statement on his website or his verified social media accounts announcing the purported bid. Likewise, an advanced search of Musk’s verified X account @elonmusk does not produce any results to support the claim.

In addition, Check Your Fact found no credible news reports to support the claim. Actually, the opposite is true. On March 10, Snopes debunked the claim. According to the outlet, a previous iteration of the claim circulated online in February 2025, alleging that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos had supposedly announced a $333 billion bid to X. USA Today debunked that iteration of the claim, Snopes reported.

A spokesperson for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation denied the claim’s validity in an email to Check Your Fact.

“To your inquiry, this claim is false,” the spokesperson said.
