Warren Buffett may feel torn about the 'Barbenheimer' clash. He's sold special-edition Barbies and warned about Oppenheimer's atomic bomb.
A glamorous blonde assistant in a See's Candies uniform brought two of the dolls to the stage where Buffett and his business partner, Charlie Munger, were seated. She pecked Munger on the cheek, prompting Buffett to quip,"It's just a sample of what it's like to be an officer at Berkshire."
"This is the new See's Barbie doll," Buffett declared."And believe it or not, we've come up with three more just like this young woman." "We wanted our shareholders to be the first ones to have a shot at this new product," the Berkshire CEO continued, adding cheekily,"The model is not included."On a far more serious note, Buffett has frequently touched on J. Robert Oppenheimer's signature creation, the atomic bomb. He's"I've been concerned since 1945 when the first atomic bomb was used," Buffett in 2017.
"In 1945, we unleashed something like the world had never seen, and that is a pop gun compared to what can be done now," he noted during Berkshire's yearly gathering in 2016. Buffett also called nuclear weapons"the ultimate problem of mankind" in 2006. Moreover, the billionaire said in 2016 that if he could reduce the risk of a major nuclear, chemical, biological, or cyber attack by even 5%, he would commit all his wealth toward achieving that goal.
