Tesla TSLA billionaire Elon Musk has mocked the legendary investor Warren Buffett after the Berkshire Hathaway BRK.A chief executive again attacked bitcoin—in a week where “bitcoin Jesus” returned to the public sphere and named his top “contenders” for the title of the world’s dominant cryptocurrency.
“Haha, he says ‘bitcoin’ so many times,” Musk responded to a clip of the famed value investor on Twitter TWTR, shared by crypto-backing venture capitalist Marc Andreessen who called it “wild” that Buffett can attack bitcoin “while nakedly shilling diabetes”—referring to Buffett surrounding himself with boxes of See’s Candies on stage.
Warren Buffett and his right-hand man, Berkshire Hathaway’s vice chairman Charlie Munger, both used the company’s annual shareholder meeting on Saturday to repeat their well-known derision of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
