What "behavior"? The media is so boring, take for instance the "Elon Musk smoked weed on the Joe Rogan Podcast" incident, everyone went crazy about that, but no one talked about what they really talked about in the podcast, our future as a species, where will technology take us, AI and self driving cars, social issues and what is the purpose in our lives, but i guess that does not get so many views as some sensationalist nonsense. Warren is a great guy tho, and what he says does make sense in the context of the business world.

Says the guy who didnt invest a single shares in google, amazon, microsoft, adobe, salesforce or any successful tech companies except Apple. I rest my case.

[mrleebaines]

Elon listen to this geezer, he knows what his talking about....

[masonsaunders]

It's funny how he laughs about the question in general because he knows it's really not that big a deal if your company was feeling and on the rocks then yeah but seeing as how you're a rockstar just a little eccentric sometimes just really doesn't matter when you are leading your industries

BUFFET ALWAYS COMMENTS IN A WAY EITHER PROMOTING HIS BUSINESSES OR HURTING HIS COMPETITORS. HE IS SMART ENOUGH TO SOUND GENUINE

[tpstrat]

I think he’s only commenting on Twitter and how it makes him look unprofessional

Warrenshire Buffettaway. Respect to Buffett.

[aguyinavan]

Warren has been a lifelong inspiration to me. I have loved what I have learned about the world due to his encouragement. There would be nothing better than to be in a room sharing perspectives on different topics. Thanks for the share.

Warren's combover is so much better than Andy's.

[LogicPhalanx]

Warren isn’t changing the world, he’s profiting from it. Warrens behavior has room for improvement.

[breeag]

Just cause Elon isn’t a “traditional” CEO doesn’t mean he needs to improve or change... he’s doing great, media needs to stfu

[Sxtnstn]

If the world had more Elon Musks and less Warren buffets, everyone would be in a much better place ....

WARREN BUFFET IS NOTHING COMPARED TO ELON MUST... COME IS JUST AN INVESTOR..

[randalljaeger]

Warren you couldn’t handle what Musk does on a daily basis. So save your criticism on him as a CEO. He’s not sitting around all day like you two. And don’t think for one second your in the same class as him. He actually works hard, invest his own money and builds products that make the world a better place. You build NOTHING moving money around is not exactly helping this world in anyway. What you do is helping you make money?? Compare that to what Elon M does next time you want to criticize him. What you do is boring and you should donate most of that money to people who will actually use it to make something or use it to cure a disease etc...
Not just look at it or count it...

Warren Buffet... Elon developed a reusable rocket that NASA is using. What have you done Warren? Oh yeah... nothing.

[josemarin]

warren as an investor is gawd like but as indvidual is adumbass if you think otherwise u shud read abiography on him terrible father husband and lazy af all he carews bout is making money

[aadarshchoudhary]

Buffet is nothing without stock market

[randalljaeger]

Your not funny it’s pathetic how threatened you are over Elon. Unreal all the money you have made and because a great genius comes along and dismisses you and munger because you really don’t do anything that helps the world like he does. You remind me of the movie Pretty a Woman, where Richard Gere says to his lawyer: We just move money around we don’t build or make anything useful and realizes how empty his life’s work has been and decides to change. Maybe that’s why your upset...
