| 7/24/26 | How Ron Baron Became the Greatest Fund Manager of All Time | On episode 252 of The Compound and Friends, Downtown Josh Brown and Michael Batnick are joined by Ron Baron and Michael Baron of Baron Capital to discuss: long-term investing, Elon Musk, Tesla, SpaceX, artificial intelligence, and the power of owning exceptional businesses for decades. Ron explains how Baron Capital grew from $10 million in assets to approximately $70 billion, why the firm invested repeatedly in SpaceX, and why he believes it could eventually become the world’s most valuable company. Ron and Michael also discuss what they saw in Tesla before most of Wall Street, how they evaluate visionary founders, and what allows them to hold through extreme volatility.
