Burry has previously warned on everything from the housing bubble and meme-stock frenzy to passive investing and elevated equity valuations. > It has been ridiculous for a very very long time. > > — Cassandra Unchained (@michaeljburry) June 15, 2026 **Read Also: Trump's $13 Million Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Renovation Faces Scrutiny As Algae Returns Days After Completion: 'Being Vacuumed Up…'** ## Markets Are Riding A Wave Of Optimism Burry’s post comes as investor enthusiasm has surged across financial markets, fueled by AI boom, soaring technology stocks and SpaceX’s record-breaking IPO. **Nvidia Corp** (NASDAQ:NVDA), **Microsoft Corp** (NASDAQ:MSFT), **Meta Platforms Inc** (NASDAQ:META), **Google**‘s parent **Alphabet Inc** (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and other AI leaders have added billions of dollars in market value as investors bet that AI will transform industries and unlock a new era of growth. The optimism has extended beyond AI. SpaceX made its public market debut on Friday, raising $75 billion by selling 555.6 million shares at $135 each, making it the largest IPO on record. The stock opened at $150 and climbed to an intraday high of $176.52. Burry is not alone in expressing caution over AI. **Bridgewater Associates** founder **Ray Dalio** has warned that investor enthusiasm around AI resembles previous periods of technological euphoria, while fellow “Big Short” investor Steve Eisman has said he is increasingly concerned about the sustainability of the rally. ## Bubble Warnings Have Become A Burry Trademark Burry rose to prominence after predicting and profiting from the collapse of the U.S. housing market before the 2008 financial crisis, a bet later chronicled in the book, The Big Short. Since then, the investor has become one of Wall Street’s most closely watched contrarian investors, frequently warning about asset bubbles, speculative excesses and risks that he believes are being overlooked by the broader market. **Price Action:** SpaceX gained 19.6% on Monday to $192.50 and rose further 3.49% in after-market trading. **Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings** show SPCX stock has a positive price trend across the short, medium and long-term. **Read Also: Benjamin Netanyahu Gets Publicly Insulted By Trump Before Month Ends?
