The critiques of 'circular funding' don't really make sense to me. If you invest 20 billion and you get back 20 billion, your profit is the same. Sure your revenues look higher but investors have access to all that information and should be taking that into account, just like all the other financial data.

Michael Burry is betting against AI growth translating into real profits as a whole, not the circular funding.

It's certainly a problem when circular investment structures are used to get around legal limits on the amount of leverage or fractional reserve, or to dodge taxes from bringing offshore funds onshore.
