According to CNBC, the activist short seller with Citron Research is betting against the social network because it "is losing an extensive amount of relevancy."

Facebook is not a bad company, but it "just will not be a $330 billion company in a year," Left told CNBC.

Facebook shares fell as much as 1.6% in early trading.

This comes on a big news day for Silicon Valley as Microsoft announced it will acquire LinkedIn for $26.2 billion.

Left's most famous short remains Valeant Pharmaceuticals, which he called an Enron-like fraud. Since announcing the short position last October, and amid a federal investigation into its drug-pricing practices, Valeant shares have cratered 83%.
