Charlie Munger and the 2014 Daily Journal Annual Meeting - Part Four
.
Part Three
Q: What are your thoughts about Elon Musk [CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity] and what he’s doing?
Munger: I think Elon Musk is a genius and I don’t use that word lightly. I think he’s also one of the boldest men that ever came down the pike. Put me down as saying I’ve always been afraid of the guy whose IQ is 190 and he thinks it’s 250. I like to think there’s a little of that risk with Elon. He is a certified genius.

And how much money did Charlie, and Warren put behind Elon? ZERO... They invested in BYD, on Charlie Munger's suggestion. Saying someone a person is a genius, does not make them a real genius. Elon may have a high IQ, but his EQ is his major weakness...
BTW, I have held Berkshire since 2010, pretty familiar with Charlie, and Warren's strategies.
