The harder I work the more I appreciate how super-human Elon is. I've found that an increase in work hours per week gets exponentially more difficult the closer you get to 100. I can hardly tell the difference between a 40 and 50 hr work week. The difference between a 80 hr and 90 hr work week is huge. Elon is churning out 80-100 hr work weeks in two fields infinitely more difficult than mine. It's hard to comprehend. And I admire the hell out of it. Edit: Thanks for posting that link, Liberty. That was very entertaining.

How about the car just slams the brakes as hard as possible and doesn't swerve. If a person steps into the road with no time for a car to stop that is a tragedy. Why should it be the driver's responsibility to risk his own well-being or others by swerving?

Stopped watching TV in 2011

Definitely picking Mayweather to win.

Well, I have to ask then. What was the first question? TIA. My recollection is he asked what milestones Charlie expects to see in the legal publishing business. Charlie responded that it was an important question because it affects the entire future of the company.

If you're interested in having typed notes PM me. I think the spirit of Charlie's meetings is in sharing wisdom for nothing in return. If we get enough people interested we can pool the cost of having my audio file converted to text.

Here's a 2 hour audio clip of the Q & A. It includes everything except the very first question (which Charlie said happened to be the most intelligent question ever asked at the meeting, haha) Birdy_-_Charlie_DJCO_-_Mar_25_2015_10:09_AM.m4a

Hahaha

You can if you PM Sanjeev and ask really nicely. :D

You're clearly not an investor in the fund.

Thanks so much for that Green King!

Trying to recall a quote made by Munger regarding the culture of Berkshire's annual meeting. It may have been said at a meeting as well. It was something to the effect of, "all these people aren't here because of the shareholder returns, there's a culture of intellectual curiosity. And why wouldn't I like being a part of that?" Can anyone recall him making this comment?

Thanks Rob! Much appreciated.

Well said

What, if anything, would you do differently if you got those earlier years back?

Elon Musk does AMA on reddit. Reddit goes crazy.

Thanks for bringing that up! Much appreciated.

I bought 100 shares of USO purely as a hedge against a future rise in oil prices.

I do want to hear some horror stories. Post here or PM

Hahaha Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm just asking this question out of curiosity. I'm not married and haven't even considered it yet.

How does a man with an ultra high net worth protect himself financially from a wife who'd like to leave with half? Are billionaires protecting themselves financially with anything other than a prenup? ...serious replies only.

Neither did MIT.

That was brutal. He wasn't just rude, he made an idiot of himself.
