Tesla Short Sellers Rale In $1.4 Billion As Elon Musk's Feud With Trump Tanks Stock [View all]

Source: Jalopnik

From the dramatic decline in Tesla's rapid spread of the #Tesla Takedown protests, it's no secret that plenty of people despise Elon Musk. However, there are investors willing billions of dollars against the market success of the Musk-helmed electric automaker. Those short sellers won big on Monday amid Musk's current feud with President Donald Trump. According to USA Today, a & 7.5% drop in Tesla's shares generated $1.4 billion in profits for those holding short positions. I hope they had a glass of champagne with their breakfast.

Me too.

Agreed ProfessorGAC Jul 2025 #8

You don't think his talk of a 3rd party is caused by his feud with Trump? muriel_volestrangler Jul 2025 #6

No, I Don't ProfessorGAC Jul 2025 #7
