Palantir Technologies (PLTR), the poster child of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, has found itself at the center of a storm stirred by none other than Michael Burry. Yes, that Michael Burry, the man who bet against the housing market in 2008 and walked away with a fortune while the rest of Wall Street went up in smoke.
This time, Burry’s Scion Asset Management dropped jaws with a $912 million put option position against Palantir. 5 million put contracts is no small whisper of doubt. His move came right after his cryptic caution to retail investors about the bubble-like exuberance floating around AI stocks.
