‘The Big Short’ investor Michael Burry has US$534mln bet against Tesla - report
Scion Asset Management LLC, a private investment firm founded by Dr. Michael J. Burry, announced put options on 800,100 shares in Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) as of the end of the first quarter that were worth US$534mln, Reuters reported, citing a regulatory filing with the US SEC.
Burry is known for betting more than a billion dollars against the US housing bubble, reportedly making a profit of about US$2.7bn, and was the subject of a book “The Big Short” and subsequent 2015 film of the same name where he was played by Christian Bale.
Burry has been sceptical of Tesla’s sky-high valuations, Reuters reported. In February, he tweeted “my last Big Short got bigger and Bigger and BIGGER,” referring to Tesla’s surge in market capitalisation. “Enjoy it while it lasts,” he said.
Shares in the electric car maker rose to a record US$883 in January, but have since fallen on concerns about being overvalued. The shares closed at $576.83 on Monday, valuing the company at about US$555bn.
