Neither shorts covered nor puts sold"Breaking: OpenAl, Anthropic, Google, and xAl just got sued for allegedly colluding to slow down Al development together
Here's what the lawsuit claims:1. Dario Amodei's Sept 12 essay calling for coordinated Al deceleration is the smoking gun2. Altman, Musk, and Hassabis all publicly responded in agreement the same day3. A July 2026 joint statement from lab employees admitting 'competitive pressure not to unilaterally slow' is cited as proof coordination started months earlier4. Plaintiffs say the deal violates the Sherman Act and want treble damages + a jury trialBreaking: Michael Burry says Big Tech's filings hiding something, and Oracle just became the Big Short
Below are his reasonings:CEOs sign these filings under oath, and lying on them is a crime2. Oracle admitted to $288B in leases it hasn't even started paying for yet3. None of them disclose how much "AI demand" is really just one company paying another company to buy its own product4. Oracle's touted 121% growth number includes revenue like that, and they don't say how much5. Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft & Oracle combined only made $400B in profit last year, a fraction of what they've committed to spendHe's not calling it fraud, but the truth isn't in the filingsMichael Burry's complete holdings, per his Substack

Trump was on speaker phone with Jensen Huang during the All-In Summit and he called everyone outTrump said "I'm telling you it's all a hoax. The data centers are great. They make people wealthy.
