The 2025 stock market downturn appears to have gotten to the legendary yet frequently mocked Mad Money host Jim Cramer.
Indeed, the popular TV personality has started to defend his favored stock picks with relentless vigor in his X post, with a prime target of his ire being directed toward Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) bears.
At the tail end of a five-part tweet series published on April 1, Cramer warned that many are lying about NVDA and that he would, unless they stop, ‘expose them.’
Picks for you
The death cross has already occurred. Now a retest would find buyers as all the lies and libel that can be told is now over or, fact of life, those who keep lying better get their own show because my show is going to expose them if they keep lying about Nvidia.
Jim Cramer defends Nvidia against bearish analysis
The other posts in the series reveal that the former hedge fund manager is displeased with DA Davidson opining that, according to Cramer, Nvidia’s engagement with CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) is akin to doing both ‘restraint of trade’ and making ‘Lazy Susan deals.’
The former refers to action intended to undermine free market competition and is deemed monopolistic behavior, while the latter involves a company selling an unused asset while agreeing to simultaneously buy the same or similar asset near the same price.
Jim Cramer, who has been a long-standing Nvidia bull to such an extent that he named his dog after the company, has been firing back against NVDA stock pessimists for some time.
Cramer warns ‘they’ are trying to ‘push’ Nvidia down
For some time, he has been expressing shock at the traders taking short positions against the blue-chip chipmaker or offering other bearish analyses, frequently employing conspiracy theory rhetoric.
For example, when commenting on the NVDA death cross and Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) Chairman Joe Tsai’s data center bubble warning, he stated:
Tsai’s comments knocking $NVDA down. Death Cross back in play. They will try to push it down in pre-trading.
Similarly, the Mad Money host has been voicing a consistent shock by the speed with which the market started selling big tech upon the data center warnings and the reports Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has, along with Alibaba, reached the conclusion demand might soon be far lower than supply.
Lastly, Cramer has dismissed reports that China is considering a ban on Nvidia’s latest hardware on environmental grounds, highlighting both the apparent lack of available alternatives and the country’s reputation for pollution.
While there is some merit to the former hedge fund manager’s arguments, it is worth pointing out that China has been heavily investing in its own green transition on the one hand and has been unleashing a veritable deluge of unexpectedly cutting-edge products since 2025 started.
Nvidia stock collapses 20% in 2025 despite Cramer playing defense
Elsewhere, Cramer’s confidence that Nvidia bears are wrong hasn’t helped NVDA stock evade major losses in 2025. Specifically, the semiconductor giant’s equity is 19.75% down year-to-date (YTD) and is changing hands at $107.77.
The decline simultaneously ensured that NVDA shares are trading near their seven-month lows. The next milestone remains uncertain as the positivity of the second half of the Monday, March 31, session has yet to truly translate into a rally on April 1.
