- Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway now indirectly owns a tiny slice of SpaceX — roughly 0.04% worth about $700–$815 million — via Berkshire’s ~0.9% stake in Alphabet, which holds ~4% of SpaceX.
- That means Elon Musk’s long-running wish for Buffett to be a shareholder has been fulfilled in a roundabout way: Buffett is a shareholder of one of Musk’s biggest shareholders.
- Still, Buffett’s investing style favors steady, familiar businesses (he backed BYD instead of Tesla), so a direct Berkshire bet on SpaceX or Tesla looks unlikely.
