Warren Buffett’s $4 Billion Check; The “Second Wave”; Elon Musk’s (Very) Short Shorts

Warren Buffett has made Berkshire Hathaway’s first purchase since the pandemic began in a near $10 billion deal to buy Dominion Energy. Becky Quick, who broke the story, explains Buffett’s path to this purchase, and its implications for the future. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb is calling the spikes in Covid-19 cases the “second wave” of the pandemic in the United States. Former Allergan CEO Brent Saunders discusses Regeneron’s phase 3 trials of antibody therapy and America’s path forward. He sees an opportunity to maintain both physical and economic health across the country. Plus, Tesla is now the world’s most valuable car company by market cap, and Elon Musk is mocking the stock’s short sellers with some shorts of his own.
