There's really no sign - whatsoever - that US inflation is overheating. That has implications for the Dollar. Just imagine what'll happen to inflation when the war ends and oil prices fall. I think markets are wrong to price hikes for the Fed. Very wrong.

Burry is mass-publishing the accounting case for his put options on Nvidia and Palantir while the rest of the market is still debating whether the capex cycle has legs.
The math he’s referencing is specific. The Big Four hyperscalers just guided $650-700 billion in combined 2026 capex, a 60%+ increase from the $381 billion they spent in 2025. Amazon alone committed $200 billion, so far above the $146 billion consensus that the stock lost $450 billion in market cap over nine straight sessions.
Burry’s core thesis is the depreciation trick. Nvidia’s GPU architecture runs on a 3-year cycle, with each generation delivering 2-3x more compute per watt. The H100s shipping today are economically obsolete by 2027. But the hyperscalers are depreciating them over 5-6 years. Burry estimates this gap understates depreciation by $176 billion between 2026 and 2028, inflating reported operating income by 20%+ at companies like Oracle and Meta.
That’s the “accounting tricks” he’s referencing in the tweet. He did the math.
The cash flow picture backs him up. Amazon is projected to go negative FCF in 2026, somewhere between -$17 billion (Morgan Stanley) and -$28 billion (BofA). Alphabet’s free cash flow is expected to collapse 90%, from $73.3 billion to $8.2 billion. The Big Five raised $108 billion in bonds in 2025 alone, more than 3x the average of the prior nine years. JP Morgan projects $1.5 trillion in tech debt issuance ahead. They’re repackaging data center debt as asset-backed securities, $13.3 billion this year, a structure with a history that includes Enron and 2008.
The depreciation cliff is the part the market hasn’t priced. The five hyperscalers plan to add $2 trillion in AI-related assets by 2030. At 20% annual depreciation, that’s $400 billion per year, which exceeds their combined 2025 profits. And AI services currently generate roughly $25 billion in direct revenue against $650 billion in infrastructure spend. Four cents per dollar invested.
But here’s where you have to be careful with Burry. He shorted Tesla at $180. It went to $1,200. He called the housing crisis two years early and nearly went bankrupt waiting for the trade to work. He bought puts on Nvidia and Palantir, capped-downside bets, because even he knows his timing is unreliable.
The pattern with Burry is always the same: the structural analysis is correct, the timing is wrong, and the market can stay irrational long enough to wipe out the trade before it pays. He sees the depreciation cliff. He sees the accounting inflation. He sees the debt structures. All of that is real.
The question is whether AI revenue scales fast enough to fill the gap before the write-downs hit.
AWS alone runs at $142 billion annualized, growing 24%, with a $244 billion backlog. Google Cloud’s backlog surged 55% to $240 billion. These companies are monetizing capacity as fast as they install it.
Burry is building the bear case in public so the crowd does the work for him. That’s the trade. Whether it pays depends on something Burry has never been good at: timing the moment when the music stops.
Hello WLFI team, @worldlibertyfi@EricTrump
I am very dissatisfied with the current situation. I participated in the presale, submitted all the required documents for the KYC process, and was approved at that time. I was able to purchase my tokens without any issues, which means both my identity and my wallet were verified.
Now I am being told that my wallet is not eligible for the unlock/Lockbox, which I find unfair and inconsistent, since I fully complied with all the requirements from the beginning.
I believe it is not acceptable to simply mark wallets as “not eligible” without providing investors with a proper explanation or a clear solution.
As someone who participated in the presale, completed KYC, and was approved to purchase tokens, I expect transparency. If my wallet is now flagged as ineligible, I need to know:
1.The exact reason why this happened.
2.Whether there is a process to correct the issue (e.g., resubmitting documents, updating information, or linking a different wallet).
It is not fair to leave investors without options after trusting the project from the beginning. I respectfully ask for a detailed answer and a path to resolve this issue.
Everyone who is facing the same issue — wallets being marked as “not eligible” for the Lockbox even after completing KYC and participating in the presale — should speak up together.
