Still, if you read that Times interview, and look at the last two weeks in the life of Tesla, you could reasonably conclude that short sellers are trying to sabotage Tesla, and that it’s working. It’s just that the weak link they’re targeting for sabotage is not Tesla’s intellectual property, or its assembly line, or its financing sources, or its “narrative.” They’re targeting the CEO. The sabotage goes like this:
1. Short Tesla stock.
2. Tweet mild criticism of Musk.
3. Watch him spend hours spiraling into rage and depression, ignoring the urgent work of his job, lashing out on Twitter, arguably committing securities fraud and generally driving the stock price down.
Musk: “I was not on weed, to be clear. Weed is not helpful for productivity.” Neither is Twitter, bro, neither is Twitter.
