Genius Behind "The Big Short" Reveals Massive Bet Against Tesla

Michael Burry, who famously profited from a contrarian bet against mortgage securities ahead of the financial crisis in the late 2000s, is attempting to do the same with Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock. The regulatory filing did not reveal the stock price set in Burry's puts, nor their expiration date. Burry is one of the central figures in the 2010 book The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis, and the 2015 film The Big Short that was made from it.
