Elon Musk Reminds Warren Buffett He Missed Out: 'Could've Invested In Tesla When We Were Worth Basically Nothing'
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has expressed regret that Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, did not invest in Tesla when the company was worth significantly less. Musk's comments came in response to a social media post praising Buffett's investment strategies. Musk had previously stated that Charlie Munger, Buffett's business partner, had the opportunity to invest in Tesla 15 years ago when the company was valued at around $200 million. Despite recent praise for Musk from Buffett and Munger, it is unlikely that Berkshire Hathaway will invest in Tesla due to its high P/E multiple and growth stock status.
