David Einhorn, founder and board chair of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd GLRE — and notorious critic of Tesla Inc TSLA — released Greenlight’s holdings for the first quarter last week.

Einhorn has been known in recent years for his near-perpetual short position in Tesla, which has often put him at odds with Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk.

The fund’s portfolio, valued at around $1.84 billion, is diversified across various sectors.

Looking at Greenlight’s 13F, its largest holding continued to be Green Brick Partners Inc GRBK in the materials sector, with 16,600,508 shares worth about $582 million, representing approximately 31.64% of the portfolio.
