$Tesla(TSLA.US)$ slips more than 6% on Tuesday.
Michael Burry suggested Elon Musk might want to sell some Tesla stock to cover his personal debts.
Burry also made a subtle comparison between today's market and the Dutch tulip bubble.
Musk recently offered to sell $6 billion worth of Tesla stock if UN bosses could explain to him how the sum would solve world hunger. The Tesla CEO also launched a Twitter poll asking whether he should sell 10% of his holdings, citing pressure from US lawmakers who are pushing for a "billionaire tax" that would target the ultra-wealthy's unrealized stock gains.
Burry's tweet implies those might just be excuses. The investor of "The Big Short" fame and head of Scion Asset Management posted a link to a SEC filing in August, which noted that Musk has pledged about 88 million shares, or 36% of his total stake, as collateral for personal loans as of June 30.
