Berkshire Hathaway has issued a formal statement debunking viral social media claims suggesting that legendary investor Warren Buffett has endorsed certain investment products and political candidates, including former President Donald Trump.
In a clear and strongly worded response issued through Berkshire Hathaway’s official channels, the company stated, “In light of the increased usage of social media, there have been numerous fraudulent claims regarding Mr. Buffett’s endorsement of investment products as well as his endorsement and support of political candidates. Mr. Buffett does not currently and will not prospectively endorse investment products or endorse and support political candidates.”
The company’s clarification comes in response to a viral video shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), which falsely asserts that Buffett praised Trump’s economic strategy as the “best economic moves he’s seen in over 50 years.”
The video, which has amassed millions of views, claims Trump is intentionally “crashing the stock market” to strategically reduce interest and mortgage rates- a theory unsupported by any credible economic analysis.
“And this is why Warren Buffett just said, ‘Trump is making the best economic moves he’s seen in over 50 years.’”
The statement has since been widely circulated on X.
