沃倫·巴菲特在采訪中聊了聊埃隆·馬斯克愛發推特的習慣，馬斯克最近幾個月的推特著實引發了不少爭議。

“我覺得發推對他沒什么好處”，巴菲特上周四接受美國全國廣播公司財經頻道（CNBC）采訪時說，說到這他還輕輕笑了起來。主持人談到特斯拉CEO馬斯克的推特語錄時，“奧馬哈先知”巴菲特被逗樂了，馬斯克最近發了不少有爭議的推文，還在8月7日的推文中說想把他的電動汽車公司特斯拉私有化，并且因此招來了大量審查。

雖然馬斯克及時剎車，上周說特斯拉仍將維持上市公司的狀態，但據報道他的推特導致證券交易委員會開展了相關調查，還被股東起訴他發布虛假消息抬高股價。

巴菲特承認，因為所有人都能對社交媒體上的信息進行閱讀憑評論，如果公司CEO在這種熱門平臺上公開談論交易意向，確實有可能引發法律問題。

關于他是否會對伯克希爾哈撒韋公司的相關情況發表推特，巴菲特說，“要是我開始對伯克希爾的公司事務發表日常評論，就會存在很大風險，所以我絕不會這么做”。

關于是否會發表一般性的推特，巴菲特說他“想不到有什么理由”要發推，而且他會發布年報，從中可以看到他的商業觀點。

“我不會每天對各種各樣的事情發表看法”，他說。“我覺得比起發推特，生活中還有其它更吸引我的事情。”

巴菲特還承認自己知道有一個假的沃倫·巴菲特推特賬號，最近假巴菲特還因為發一些諸如“要保持健康活力”、“常和朋友聯系”之類的心靈雞湯而贏得了一些稱贊。

“如果我發推特，內容可能還不如這個山寨賬號”，巴菲特顯然覺得這件事情很有意思。“要是他的推文確實能提出不錯的建議，我就要把他的功勞據為己有啦。”（財富中文網）

Warren Buffett has chimed in on Elon Musk’s voracious Twitter habits that have sparked much controversy in recent months.

“I don’t think it’s helped him a lot,” Buffett said while gently laughing in an interview with CNBC in an interview on Thursday. The Oracle of Omaha was amused when the interviewer brought up Musk’s Twitter musings because the Tesla (tsla, -0.99%) CEO attracted much scrutiny over an Aug. 7 tweet that suggested he wanted to take his electric car company private, among other controversial tweets.

Although Musk reversed course and said last week that Tesla will remain a public company, his comments reportedly led to a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation and shareholder lawsuits that alleged he made false claims to raise the price of his company’s stock.

Buffett acknowledged the potential legal issues that could occur if CEOs were to discuss proposed financial deals on a popular social messaging service open to anyone in the public to read and comment on.

“It would be particularly dangerous to start commenting about Berkshire daily, which I never would do,” Buffett said regarding tweeting about his conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway.

Regarding tweeting in general, Buffet said he doesn’t “see a reason to” and that he puts out an annual report instead that contains his thoughts on business.

“I do not have a daily view on all kinds of things,” he said. “I just think there’s other things in life I want to do than tweet.”

Buffet also acknowledged that he’s familiar with a fake Warren Buffett Twitter account that earned minor acclaim in recent days for posting trite business and life-skill tips like “stay healthy and fit” and “keep in touch with friends.”

“This copycat imitator, he’s putting out better stuff than I would,” Buffet said clearly amused. “If he puts out enough good advice I’ll take credit for it.”
