Michael Burry, known for predicting the subprime mortgage crisis, recently described Tesla Inc. as “ridiculously overvalued.” He made these remarks in his latest public update, stating that Tesla’s market capitalization—which refers to the total value of its outstanding shares—has been overestimated for a significant period, according to his recent post.
Burry also commented on how supporters of Elon Musk have shifted their enthusiasm between different Tesla initiatives. In his words, “the Elon cult was all-in on electric cars until competition showed up, then all-in on autonomous driving until competition showed up, and now is all-in on robots — until competition shows up.” This statement highlights his view that investor excitement changes focus whenever new market competitors arrive.
Beyond his statements about Tesla, Burry has disclosed investment positions against other leading technology companies, including Nvidia Corp. and Palantir Technologies Inc. These positions are commonly referred to as “shorts,” where an investor bets that the value of a company will decrease.
Following Burry’s comments, Tesla’s stock dropped by over 1% at the opening of Monday trading sessions. However, discussions among retail investors on major online platforms continued to lean optimistic about the company’s future.
