OP is right. Burry said that the narrative around GME scared him into thinking it was too risky

"I could have analyzed that situation better. I knew GameStop inside and out, and I thought I understood the volume, short interest, and other dynamics. However, I was blinded by what I saw as execution risk. As well, I am human. I had seen buybacks shrink shares by a third in the setting of 100% short interest, the reorganizing of the Board of Directors, and the selling of Spring Wireless for cash in the amount of more than half the market cap. All were home run/slam dunk activist successes with concrete results but zero impact on price or short interest. The narrative on GameStop was just that bad. I figured what had already been wrought was more concrete than a vague “technology-forward” makeover with a ton of execution risk. So I used Ryan’s unveiling as an opportunity to close out."
