Michael Burry’s Final Warning: The AI Bubble is a "Circular Fraud"


Listen Later

Is the AI revolution a generational miracle or a trillion-dollar accounting trick? In Episode 19 of The Gray Files, host Erika Barker breaks down a chilling new thesis from Michael Burry, the legendary investor who predicted the 2008 housing collapse (featured in The Big Short).

We dive deep into Burry’s latest warnings from "Cassandra Unchained" regarding the AI Bubble and why he believes the "Magnificent Seven" (Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon) are hiding a $176 billion depreciation crisis.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The Escalator Effect: Why AI CapEx is destroying Return on Invested Capital (ROIC).

  • Accounting Smoke & Mirrors: How tech giants are extending server life to artificially inflate profits, and why Amazon is the only one telling the truth.

  • Stranded Assets: Why $1 trillion in data centers could become "economically crippled" by 2027.

  • The Power War: Why the U.S. is structurally positioned to lose the AI race to China’s massive electrical grid.

  • Circular Revenue: Is Nvidia, OpenAI, and Microsoft caught in a "vendor-financed" feedback loop reminiscent of the Dot Com crash?

    Whether you are a retail investor, a data scientist, or a tech enthusiast, this "mini-masterclass" in finance will help you see the math that Wall Street is trying to ignore.
