Charlie Munger once said that Elon Musk "likes taking on the impossible job and doing it." But the late Munger said he and Warren Buffett didn't want to emulate Musk's lifestyle. Munger, Warren Buffett's longtime business partner, died at 99 on Tuesday. We have a wholly different way of going about life," Munger said. "Appreciate the kind words from Warren and Charlie," Musk wrote in response to a video of Buffet's and Munger's comments back in May.
