Is the Smart Money Quitting AI? Peter Thiel Dumps NVDA for Healthcare & Value

[BellaJones]

The latest Scion Asset Management 13F Q3 2025 Holdings and Peter Thiel Portfolio are sending a massive warning signal. While retail is still chasing the AI hype, the "Smart Money" is heading for the exits.

Peter Thiel has officially liquidated 100% of his Nvidia ($NVDA) position and slashed Tesla ($TSLA) by 76%. His portfolio value shrunk by over 64% this quarter, signaling a major defensive shift.

So, where is the money going? New entries in his portfolio show a pivot toward value and defensive sectors:

• Molina Healthcare ($MOH): New $23.9M position.
• Lululemon ($LULU): New 100,000 share stake.
• SLM Corp ($SLM): New entry in the financial/student loan sector.

Between Michael Burry’s massive puts on $PLTR and Thiel dumping $NVDA, it looks like the silicon valley elite are bracing for a crash.

I caught part of a segment on FOX Business yesterday where some guy was complaining about NVDA being "boring" to the Wall Street hot shots.

I doubt you will see the 1000% gains in NVDA in the future but making money is not "boring".

I think AI is moving away from using GPUs and moving to something much more energy efficient.

There is a problem scaling energy to meet data moving demands. So they have some new much more energy efficient chip architecture.

The price of GPUs is likely going back down in the future.

People overestimate where we are in AI. All the big money development hasn't been in companies deploying AI. It has been investment by companies hoping to contract server farms to AI for when it does come along. Beyond that, companies have just been doing the AI shtick to mislead investors into why all these mass layoffs were happening. The thing that would normally tank a stock, boosted it when people bought into that "explanation".
