The investor placed a bet against $530 million worth of Tesla shares in 2021 but exited the position a few months later, with Burry telling CNBC the move was &quot;just a trade.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Burry&#039;s post.<\/p>\n<p>Musk&#039;s EV maker is the latest tech giant to draw the investor&#039;s fire.<\/p>\n<p>Burry, whose bet against the housing market in 2008 was famously depicted in &quot;The Big Short&quot; movie, has been outspoken in his belief that the current AI boom is a bubble.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, he disclosed bets against Nvidia and Palantir and engaged in a war of words with both companies.<\/p>\n<p>In a pivot, he deregistered his hedge fund in November and set up his Substack last week.<\/p>\n<p>Burry is not the first to call Tesla overvalued. The company&#039;s shares trade at over 250 times its earnings, far higher than other carmakers, and fellow famed short-seller Jim Chanos also said in 2023 that Tesla was overvalued.<\/p>\n<h2>Musk hits back at short sellers <\/h2>\n<p>Despite a DOGE-related wobble at the start of the year, Tesla&#039;s shares are up 11% in 2025 as investors have cheered the company&#039;s robotaxi rollout.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has hit out against Tesla&#039;s critics and short sellers, predicting that the EV maker will become the most valuable company on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>The billionaire&#039;s $1 trillion pay package, which was approved by Tesla shareholders last month, is contingent on the company&#039;s market cap rising over the next decade to $8.5 trillion, nearly double the valuation of Nvidia.<\/p>\n<p>The Cybertruck maker continues to dominate the EV market in the US, with around 41% market share as of August \u2014 but that number has fallen in recent years as competitors have rolled out more electric models.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has said that Tesla&#039;s robotaxi and Optimus robot are the future of the company.
