Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated on social media platform X that the Tesla Semi will commence large-scale production this year.

Musk made the remark while responding to a user who shared details of his past debate with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates regarding the feasibility of an electric semi-truck.

The post recounted: "Bill Gates once visited Tesla's factory in Texas and told Elon directly: 'It's impossible to build a long-range semi-truck. It simply won't work.'

Elon responded: 'But we have one. You should try driving it yourself. PepsiCo is already using them.'

Gates kept repeating: 'No, it won't work.'

Today, Tesla's semi-trucks are delivering goods for one of the world's largest companies, with a range exceeding 425 miles.

Imagine being so confidently wrong, refusing to accept reality, yet somehow the media still portrays him as a 'climate expert'!?"
