Peter Schiff Says the AI Bubble Has 'a Lot More Air' Left to Come Out…

Economist Peter Schiff reaffirmed his view that the U.S. stock market is in an artificial intelligence-induced bubble, as SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) continues its downward trend. In a post on X on Tuesday, Schiff said SpaceX was “down over 20% since its IPO” and down 52% from its all-time high of $225 per share, adding that “the SpaceX IPO marked the peak of the AI bubble.” He stated that while AI was real, there was a “lot more air left to come out of overhyped AI-related stocks.” Schiff had previously warned against hype-driven investing, noting SpaceX’s decline caused its valuation to lose a Tesla Inc.-sized figure. He also said the rally caused Elon Musk to lose $100 billion in a week, and Musk no longer retains the trillionaire title, with his net worth around $724 billion per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Separately, S3 Partners reported SpaceX became the second-most profitable company to short, with short-sellers clearing upwards of $7 billion betting against it, and shorts against SpaceX crossing $26 billion. SpaceX shares were down 1.33% to $114.86 during overnight trading on Tuesday.
