My bet is that he's trying to start a panic in the markets. That way he can clean up on a short.

I would say I am fairly sure its some kind of afinancial crime to uh, short a company you have a material position in...

But we live in 'interesting times', so... who knows!

... Maybe he had an 'interesting chat' recently, with Michael Burry.

That would be 'funny'.

I think it's cute you believe that we live in a world where financial crimes are actually prosecuted.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago

I remember Enron being prosecuted, we did at one point at least kind of pretend to give a shit.

But uh... yeah...

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 23 hours ago

Oh, it will. Bad for everyone human.

It will end badly for us.

The best case, I think, is for Nvidia and Tesla to do well in the short term (next 6 months or so) and then crash. That way Thiel and most people following his investment advice get to eat it, but the bubble doesn't stay propped up for too long.
