Concern on Share Markets as The Big Short's Michael Burry Bets Against Top AI Stocks

Michael Burry placed a $1 billion bet against Nvidia and Palantir, warning of an AI bubble similar to 2008’s housing market crash, according to regulatory filings.

  • Last month, a regulatory filing revealed Michael Burry, hedge fund manager, placed short positions on Nvidia and Palantir through Scion Asset Management, warning of an AI bubble.
  • Michael Burry, famed for predicting the 2008 housing market crash in The Big Short, has a history of large bearish bets when spotting bubbles, James Kardatzke said.
  • Scion Asset Management disclosed a 700million short against Palantir and a 145million short versus Nvidia, totaling an 845million bet against the AI boom via short selling.

  • Nvidia has risen more than 13-fold since 2023 and recently became the first $5 trillion company, while Palantir trades at nearly 250 times forward earnings after a 30-fold rise.
