A new Benzinga poll pitted Warren Buffett, Elon Musk, and other renowned investors against each other, asking readers to decide who they would trust to turn $1,000 into $100,000 the fastest based on their past and current investment track records.
What Happened: Elon Musk has helped transform SpaceX and Tesla Inc TSLA into two of the most valuable companies in the world, which might explain why investors continue to believe in his companies and future growth initiatives.
This might also explain why Musk won a recent Benzinga reader poll.
“If you gave them $1,000, who could turn it into $100,000 the fastest?” Benzinga asked.
Here were the results:
- Elon Musk: 42%
- Warren Buffett: 25%
- Mark Cuban: 19%
- Peter Thiel: 15%
The poll found that Musk was the pick for investors to give $1,000 to and turn it into $100,000 the quickest. Buffett ranked a distant second at 25% of the vote.
