The legendary investor and chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc “should take a position in Tesla. It’s an obvious move”. That’s what Musk wrote in a post on “X” on Monday.

Costs and prices both will go down if automation technology of the EV giant succeeds in minimising road accidents, he noted. $TSLA, however, is yet to achieve that milestone, as per Ajit Jain – vice chairman of Berkshire’s insurance business.
