    Gads what a life.

    Two of the richest clowns on the planet trying to decide who has created their best image out there.

    With their kind of money, neither should really care unless one of them is bored and stirring the PI pot.

    For some time, I have felt that Elon was unravelling. This is the sort of thing that shows signs of emotional instability. It's one of the reasons I have no intention to expand my Tesla holdings, even though I think it's going to continue to do well for a long time.

    Even if true, saying it in an interview is douchey.

    Warren Buffett remains my spiritual leader. These days, I follow Elon Musk far, far, more closely. I no longer care what BRK is buying or selling as I feel they lost the way a while ago. ... but that was douchey to say. I heard him say similar on the Joe Rogan Podcast.

    Mr. Buffett has done as much for the retail investor, including myself, as anyone short of Jack Bogle. Warren Buffett deserves the benefit of 100 doubts. If it's difficult to let Mr. Buffett be an old man, not as sharp as he used to be, and not understand a world Elon is trying to build that scant few people in their prime understand, then you suck. That means you, Elon. :p

    And old NASCAR phrase.

    It doesn't matter if they cheer or boo. They make noise, and the T shirts sell like hotcakes.
    If they introduce you and nothing but crickets?... No sales. You are nobody.

    Lets compare,..

    Buffett - household name, never spent a penny marketing BH, with a hundred plus billions sitting in,... CASH.
    Musk - household name, never spent a penny marketing but you either love him or hate him. Billions and billions in value, on paper.

    Now who is already successful, and who is still selling. I made it easy. Pick one.

    Elon Musk, Kanye West, Donald Trump

    Very rich, craves attention, very smart, emotionally and/or mentally imbalanced.

    Trump - household name, never spent a penny marketing

    Nothing drives the most ultimately wealthy people in the world like their egos. They'd spend fortunes to humiliate others to make themselves look better than the rest. More powerful. More wealthy. Etc.

    In preparation, I am thinking that when something declines, something also rises. Maybe the healthcare insurance field will go up.

    I heard a rumor that A55 wore out his computer with GIMP.

    I mean the application GIMP, not the S&M that seems to always be sleeping.

    You know... the Photoshop clone. I'm sure you use it all the time.
