[u/AdaXaX] We have power! Tesla’s stock is now 100$ less worth than one month ago. Keep the boycott spinning! Buy from the EU only! (feddit.org)

Shorting Tesla stock sounds almost like a foolproof way to make money these days…

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 minutes ago

The risk is that a bunch of crazy trump supporters might try to GameStop it. Or that a Saudi prince or Russian oligarch will pump the stock as a way to curry favor with musk.

Bill Gates has been trying to short it for years and it's just kept going up. There's nothing rational about the market.

I never recommend shorting

Sure, but entire fortunes were lost shorting Tesla in the past as well. It has been wildly overvalued for ages and it still is ridiculously overvalued, but I personally wouldn't bet on it.
