Michael Burry has also criticised the optimism around AI-driven stocks, and he even reportedly wound down his fund, saying that the ongoing “AI Mania” reminded him of the early 2000s dot-com crash. The investor has deregistered his hedge fund, Scion Asset Management, which means Burry will no longer manage clients’ money. Not only this, he has reportedly placed options against major tech companies like Palantir Technologies and Nvidia.
