Main Article:

Michael Burry is sounding an awful lot like the investor [Jim Chanos] who shorted Enron.

He estimated that Meta, Google, Oracle, Microsoft, and Amazon — five hyperscalers and some of the biggest names in the AI trade — would "understate depreciation" by around $176 billion between 2026 and 2028.

"But it gets worse. More detail coming November 25th," he added.
