Michael Burry Compares Alphabet's 100-Year Bonds to Motorola's Downfall After Similar Move in 1997

>Michael Burry, who predicted the 2008 global financial crisis, has repeatedly issued warnings about the global economy, the bitcoin crash and a potential massive AI bubble. He has also been placing bets against major AI players such as Nvidia and Palantir Technologies amid overstretched valuations and limited revenues from extensive AI investments. >In a recent post on X, he compared Alphabet's decision to issue 100-year bonds with a similar move by Motorola in 1997, the last time the company was considered a major player. In the years following Motorola's bond sale, the company's prominence declined. >Google's parent company reportedly initiated a bond offering that could include seven maturities, with the longest extending decades into the future, including one in 2066. Alphabet plans to issue debt in dollars, British pounds and Swiss francs with varying maturities. >'Alphabet looking to issue a 100-year bond. Last time this happened was Motorola in 1997, which was the last year Motorola was considered a big deal,' Burry wrote on the social media platform.
