This after hearing the statements of Charlie Munger, Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, one of Warren Buffet’s conglomerateswhen he said that the “world is not moved by greed, but by envy and that the fact that the world lives 5 times better than before, takes it for granted”.

“All people think is that someone has more now than the other and it’s not fair that he (people) have it and they don’t“, he added.

Given the appreciation made by the 98-year-old tycoon, before the cameras of the ‘Daily Journal’, Musk went to his personal Twitter profile to contribute to the discussion with a simple but telling phrase: “Instagram is an amplifier of envy”.

During an interview in August, the South African mentioned that he only has 54 followers on Instagram and admitted that it was for personal purposes.

“Instagram is the next level thirst trap. I found myself taking a lot of selfies and thought, ‘Why am I doing this?’ Then it was about getting more likes and taking selfies,'” Musk said.

Elon Musk and his trial against Twitter

Twitter Inc.’s case against Elon Musk over a failed $44 billion takeover will go to trial October 17-21. This was ruled by Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick, of Delaware, in an order issued on July 28.

The billionaire “backed out” of acquiring the social network for billions of dollars.

The date comes after Elon Musk’s lawyers said in early July that Twitter was looking for an October 10 start date.”Without justificationTwitter, for its part, told the court that it did not object to it starting on October 17, but wanted the full five-day trial to take place that week.

On July 12, Twitter officially filed a lawsuit against billionaire Elon Musk for breaching the contract that stipulated the purchase of the social network.

The memorandum urges the court to order Musk to complete his Twitter purchase agreement, arguing that no economic compensation can repair the damage caused to the company.

According to the report delivered by Musk’s lawyers, the reason why he would have made the decision to withdraw from the purchase was because, according to him, Twitter did not provide all the requested information and did not comply with the businessman’s requests to make the purchase effective.

“They say I can’t buy Twitter. So they don’t want to reveal the information about bots. Now they want to force me to buy Twitter in court. Now they have to reveal the information about the bots in court,” says Musk’s meme mocking the lawsuit.
