Michael Burry Is Not Short Tesla Stock — Despite 'Ridiculous' Valuation
12/31/2025 11:50 AM • Michael Burry, known as a Tesla skeptic, confirmed he currently holds no short position in Tesla despite repeatedly calling the company 'ridiculously overvalued.' Burry's concerns center on shareholder dilution from equity compensation, Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package, and the stock's cult-like following that decouples it from fundamentals. Instead, Burry has deployed his capital shorting AI stocks, particularly NVIDIA and Palantir, citing concerns about understated asset depreciation costs.
TSLA - Burry labels Tesla as 'ridiculously overvalued' and criticizes shareholder dilution from equity compensation (~3.6% annually), Elon Musk's massive $1 trillion pay package, and the stock's disconnect from traditional fundamentals. However, he is not currently shorting it due to unpredictable cult-like momentum.
