Who was ridiculed for predicting exactly how the market would meltdown?

Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager featured in "The Big Short," was ridiculed for accurately predicting the 2008 housing market meltdown. Despite facing skepticism and criticism from both investors and the media, Burry's analysis of mortgage-backed securities and subprime loans led him to bet against the market, ultimately resulting in significant profits for his fund. His foresight was largely dismissed at the time, highlighting the challenges faced by those who challenge prevailing market sentiments.
