The Real Reason Elon Is A Trillionaire Has Nothing To Do With Greed — It Has To Do With Your Savings
"Skeptics like Michael Burry, the guy who saw 2008 coming a mile off, say the real number is closer to 2 or 3 years and that the 5 or 6 year figure that is being used is being used as an accounting trick to hide losses."
Michael Burry is reportedly warning that AI companies are booking expensive AI chips as having 5-6 year useful lives when the actual lifecycle is 2-3 years, potentially hiding massive losses through accounting manipulation. This echoes his warnings before the 2008 financial crisis and raises concerns about AI infrastructure debt being packaged and sold to retail investors.
