>What is with the obsession with "shorts"? I've never seen so much over-reaction to short selling in my life.

I have a question for you.

But first there is so much attention lately on Tesla shorters because they bet 10 billion on Tesla stock going down, and instead it went up, and they are about to all get wiped out.

And because inspite of the fact that Tesla is overcoming its production problems, and SpaceX is going great, the media has been flooded with stories lately about how Musk is a fraud, he is losing his mind, and Tesla is about to go bankrupt, and so many people reasonably believe the shorters are trying to save themselves from disaster by attacking Musk.

Now here is the question. Do you believe the Tesla shorters were smart when they made a prediction Tesla stock was going to go down?
