Elon Musk's wealth officially surpassed that of Warren Buffett on Friday, according to Bloomberg's Billionaire's Index, fueled by Tesla's skyrocketing stock price and a hefty donation by the Oracle of Omaha.

Musk, CEO of Tesla and the electric carmaker's biggest shareholder, saw his riches surge by more than $6 billion on Friday alone, to hit $70.5 billion, as the company's market value capped off a week of fresh highs. The stock is up 259% in 2020 compared to the benchmark S&P 500 index's 1% gain.

Musk is now No. 7 on the list, up from No. 12.

Buffett, easily the world's most famous investor and still a multi-billionaire in his own right, saw his fortune decline this week after giving away $2.9 billion of Berkshire Hathaway to charity. Since 2006, Bloomberg reports, he's gifted more than $37 billion worth of shares.

Is he gonna go on Joe Rogan and celebrate?

It's all speculative at this point. Tesla isn't even profitable yet.

I regret not buying Tesla stock when it was going for 200 a year ago.

It doesn't really matter unless you would sell now.

I bought 1 share at about $200 last year lol, mostly for funsies. Wish I bought more. It's tempting to sell and be happy with $1300 but I can also ride this out.

Yeah that's why my mouth doesn't start foaming when people talk about how rich some people are.

Yes it does. Just 1 would have been a 1300 profit. 10 would have been 13k.

It's easy to say you would have held that long in hindsight but if you would have bought it for 200 who's to say you wouldn't have sold it all when it doubled in price at 400?

It's not a profit unless you sell. Plenty of people have ridden stocks, cryptos, etc. up and then down.

That is true, I don't trust Tesla stock at all tbh. I sold it when it was in the $300s (made a profit still), and I regret that now, but the reason I sold it is because the stock was volatile af. It could easily drop back down. But I could also imagine hoping that it will go up even more and not selling it now.

Musk and Tesla are exactly the opposite of what Buffett invests in.

I'd rather have WBs investments than Musks
