American billionaire Bill Gates bought his first electric car.

Axar.az reports that Gates prefers the Porsche electric model to the Taycan.

Noting that electric cars play an important role in the fight against environmental pollution, the billionaire said Tesla, which is headed by Elon Musk, is particularly interested in this area.

Bill Gates revealed in a February 14 interview with YouTube tech star Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) that he had recently bought a Porsche Taycan, the first electric offering by the luxury sports carmaker, and liked it very much.

But when the news spread to the Tesla universe, many die-hard fans felt offended, including its CEO, Elon Musk.
