Do you include shorts who go out there trashing the name and then wind up wrong? A bunch of tesla shorts have made an industry of being very very vocal. Musk 420'ing on-air has nothing to do with the underlying value of his company or stock in "real" terms, it has a lot to do with temporary risk value, but the shorts played it into ".. see .. evidence tesla is tanking what kind of CEO smokes pot it must be valueless we were right.. " talking.

I don't think all shorts do this. I do think a lot of Musk shorts (relatively speaking) do this.
