Sun Yuchen: I once advised Buffett to acquire Tesla In the second half of the interview with Xiandao, Sun Yuchen recalled Buffett's lunch back then: he suggested to Buffett in person to acquire Tesla. At that time, Musk was considering privatizing Tesla at a cheap valuation and urgently needed endorsement from heavyweight figures. Buffett did not accept the offer because if he could imagine seeing the company he had invested in on the front page of a newspaper one morning, he would not have invested. He doesn't touch disruptive companies that will bring surprises.
