'Executive enrichment schemes'.

The only difference between Burnie Madoff and Jim Chanos is Burnie is dead, and Jim is not. I'm sure those who trusted him with their accumulative 6 Billion (worth 200 million now) are wishing Jim would join Burnie down under.

Jim was right about evs some few yers bck...i think its time to short tesla with the emergence of chinese evs.

[@84kirbphillas]

Was Mr. Chanos right about evs? "The emergence of Chinese evs" proves that 🇺🇸Tesla is on the right road. "Competition is always a good thing...

[@TabsT-vy5jy]

And now he closed his hedge fund after losing so much money. Haha

Xi told Bitme in Nov23 they are going to reunify Taiwan. Its only a matter of when. Buffett didn't sell TSM because it was a bad company.

8 billion fund management in 2008 to 200 million today. Yeah this guy is a real genius.

China's GDP went from $9 trillion in 2010 to $19 trillion in 2023. That didn't happen because of a lot bad investment. There were huge improvements in productivity. In 13 years, China went manufacturing simple items to the biggest exporter of cars.

[@calvinj3521]

Not if you look at TFP 😊

[@Ukrainianbankaccount]

​@@calvinj3521 I am very skeptical of claims that China has not progressed far on total factor productivity. Chinese universities are now the largest contributor of quality science research according to the annual ranking of countries by the Nature Index, which tracks citations in leading journals. This has nothing directly to do with TFP but it is an indictator. It's very hard to believe a country could have so many high quality research universities (materializing in the last 13 years) and the economy and workforce are not also moving in the same direction (TFP rising too).

[@thebarryman]

Did you listen to what he said about the GDP?

[@Ukrainianbankaccount]

@@thebarryman Chinese GDP indicates real growth because it is based on rising exports and climbing the value chain.

13:01 Chanos gasps when asked about his nemisis Tesla. His short position in Tesla ended his fund. Byee Chanos.😂😂😂

[@iamstillvoltron]

How is Tesla stock doing? Chanos will be proven right about Tesla. Wait and see.

[@mohammadwasilliterate8037]

*Imagine TESLA has been making profits since 2019 and this fool still shorting it until he burned his hedge fund down to the ground, his investors must be screaming.*

I really like the way this man thinks

[@vicjay1972]

You should have invested in his fund then. You too could have lost 99%. The guy is a real winner!

[@globalismoblackman]

​​@vicjay1972 I like your sarcasm. Chanos fund became a Chanloss fund 😅🤣?. He shorted Tesla stock doubled down. Trippled down and Tesla stock skyrocketed to the moon and the rest is his story hahaha he blew up his hedge fund 😅

[@chamade166]

Another silly bear bites the dust

[@atmavictu2995]

Poor chanos, he has been destroyed by Elon Musk. He bet against the wrong man. now he is liquidating his pathetic fund. Great thinker but terrible investor

[@noahway13]

But it looked so good on paper... (>_

[@iamstillvoltron]

You know nothing about Jim Chanos. He is a legend since Enron and he will be right about Tesla eventually: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4C9ppiZrJ2hm6s

*Hey Jim how's your investors $6 billion looking?*
