.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.
SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.
Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.
SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.
Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.
The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.
Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.
Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.
Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.
Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.
We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.
I’m speechless. I have no speech. The man himself had acknowledged me.
Thank you to everyone who’s liked, commented, reposted and reached out to me these past 36 hours. Never in a million years did I expect this to happen.
I delivered this new talk on “Mental Models for Exceptional Capital Allocation” twice in April 2026. Both are similar, but not identical. This is the one given @Columbia_Biz on 4/21/26. The one given @UNOmaha on 4/30/26 was posted a few days ago. Enjoy!

Re bearish/confused reaction to $BRK.B portfolio, informed shareholders expected and wanted this. Sell “small” positions bought by Todd or are rounding errors. Concentrate like Munger. Focus on operating earnings. Grow profit margins. For bears, Greg will buy your shares.
It's publication day for my new book!
Risk & Reward is now available
Tons of my favorite charts, stories and anecdotes
I read the audio version of the book myself
I had a lot of fun writing this
I think it's the best thing I've ever written
