According to the Zhitong Finance APP, on Wednesday, during the initial trading session of the U.S. stock market, Michael Burry, known as the "Big Short," launched a fierce critique of the $500 billion artificial intelligence infrastructure financing arrangement led by AI chip giant Nvidia (NVDA.US). He compared the complex financing network, composed of private credit and asset-backed securities, to the systemic financial risks that accumulated on the eve of the 2008 financial crisis, labeling the arrangement as a Wall Street-exclusive stunt similar to those of 2008.
