  My bet is that he’s trying to start a panic in the markets. That way he can clean up on a short.

    I would say I am fairly sure its some kind of afinancial crime to uh, short a company you have a material position in…

    But we live in ‘interesting times’, so… who knows!

      I think it’s cute you believe that we live in a world where financial crimes are actually prosecuted.

        I remember Enron being prosecuted, we did at one point at least kind of pretend to give a shit.

        But uh… yeah…

    Wouldn’t that be below somebody like Thiel? I mean, he is a professional and this seems a bit too much “amateurish”…

      He believes that there is a bibilical antichrist alive right now, and he can stop it but also shouldn’t. He’s disconnected from reality so severely, he lives in a completely different world. The fact that he’s rich is not a testament of his professional capabilities, but to the fact that in current capitalist environment, the only prerequisite for being rich is to be lucky and have zero morals

      This comment is a joke, right?

        I don’t say it would MORALLY below him, quiet the contrary, but more from a skill level. Acting so obviously would be just amateurish.

  The best case, I think, is for Nvidia and Tesla to do well in the short term (next 6 months or so) and then crash. That way Thiel and most people following his investment advice get to eat it, but the bubble doesn’t stay propped up for too long.
