Palantir CEO angrily responds to "Big Short": Shorting Palantir and Nvidia is essentially shorting AI

According to Gelonghui, Palantir CEO Alex Karp publicly responded to short sellers, specifically naming "big short" Michael Burry, whose asset management company Scion disclosed in the latest regulatory filing that it holds a large number of put options on Palantir and Nvidia. Affected by this bearish sentiment, Palantir fell nearly 8% overnight, while Nvidia dropped nearly 4%.

Karp stated on a program on Tuesday that the two companies Burry is shorting are highly profitable, and called his idea of shorting chip and ontology (a key supporting technology in AI systems) companies "simply insane," claiming that this move is essentially shorting AI. Karp declared that if Burry is ultimately wrong, he will celebrate, and criticized that "shorting is very complex, and honestly, I think this is market manipulation. We have achieved the best performance in history, and it's not even clear if he is doing this to close his position. These people publicly claim to be ethical, but in reality, they are shorting one of the best companies in the world."

Previously, news revealed that the "big short" prototype Michael Burry's latest holdings show: 80% of his position is shorting Palantir and Nvidia.
