I've come to the conclusion that I really don't like Warren Buffet. I saw an interview with him, the guy says he is short on time because he's old so the interview has to be quick, and yet he is still trying to make more money at his age while downing I don't know how many Coca-Colas a day.
This guy has no idea what to do with his money so he just gave it all to Bill Gates to figure it out for him. I mean really, you can't even actually take the time to think about the causes to which it could go, so you just give it to that other rich guy who has a foundation? And meanwhile, you're stressing about having little time left but still spending your time investing in some companies trying to get some more successes? Oh look I gave all my money to a foundation, that makes me good. Yeah right, he just has no idea what to do with it, he's just addicted to a game, same way he is to Coke.
Then I see someone like Elon Musk; young, rich, yet he's someone who believes his money is only a mean to an end, and that end is to change the world for the best. He has embarked in some of the most risky sectors, either directly or indirectly; solar energy, electric cars, space exploration. He's trying to sue the Pentagon and Co. for keeping the space industrial sector a closed industry when it could have progressed much more by not blocking competition.
People like Buffet because they identify to him, they want to think they can hit it big too. But I really hope people will recognize Musk for what he's done, he's so much more inspiring, and has already done more for human progress than Buffet has in his whole life.
