Michael Burry Flags a $3 Trillion Concern Over SpaceX
The 'Big Short' investor Michael Burry has raised a major red flag about SpaceX, putting a $3 trillion figure on the problem.
Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager made famous by his prescient bet against the 2008 housing market, is back in the headlines — and this time, he's pointing his skeptical eye at Elon Musk's rocket company, SpaceX.

Whenever someone with Burry's track record speaks up, markets — and investors — tend to listen, even if they don't always agree.
