Warren Buffett is concerned about people impersonating him on social media to endorse investment products or political candidates. Berkshire Hathaway added a statement to its website declaring that Buffett does not and will not endorse any products or candidates. This comes as the presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump heats up, with support coming from various big names in finance and technology. There is also a broader concern about deep fakes and artificial intelligence being used to impersonate influential figures like Buffett. Buffett himself is known for shunning bitcoin and recommending low-cost index funds. He wants to ensure that people do not believe any endorsements made in his name, as he recently became aware of a fake political endorsement on Instagram. Buffett emphasized that any endorsements claiming to be from him are fake, as he does not know how to use Instagram and wants people to know that anything they see or hear with his image or voice is not genuine. He wants to make sure that his reputation and views are not misrepresented on social media.
