Investing.com -- Berkshire Hathaway Inc . (NYSE:BRKa) has denied all rumors circulating on social media platforms such as X, TikTok, and Facebook (NASDAQ:META) claiming that Warren Buffett made certain comments. The company clarified on Friday that these comments, allegedly made by Buffett, are false.

The denial came after claims were shared on Donald Trump’s Truth Social account earlier on Friday. The claims suggested that Buffett had praised the president for making "the best economic moves" in over 50 years.

The original post containing these claims was made by an Instagram user on March 13. However, the video started to circulate more widely this week following Trump’s announcement of a series of tariffs that exceeded expectations.

Warren Buffett, the 94-year-old billionaire, is often the target of false claims on social media. These often include assertions that he supports certain investment products or political candidates. Last year, Buffett stated that he would not endorse any political candidate following the emergence of "numerous fraudulent claims" about his positions.
