Robinhood struck back at Warren Buffett on Monday after the legendary investor said over the weekendBloomberg Terminal that the online brokerage played a significant part in the “casino aspect” aspect of the market.

“People are tired of the Warren Buffetts and Charlie Mungers of the world acting like they are the only oracles of investing,” Robinhood head of public policy communications Jacqueline Ortiz Ramsay said in a blog postBloomberg Terminal. “Robinhood and other online trading platforms have opened the doors of financial markets to everyday people, deeply unsettling the old guard who will fight to keep things the same.”
