He (Elon) complains about shortselling meanwhile EVERY big investor/fund that invests in stocks (including $TSLA) do so confidently b/c they have the security of being able to hedge their portfolio with Puts. And for dealers to write Puts, they have to SHORT the stock to hedge. https://twitter.com/jesseguenet/status/1354931174267891715
Ban shortselling and now dealers can no longer sell puts.

Dealers stop selling puts = funds/large investors can no longer hedge their portfolios = stocks become too risky to hold = institutional money leaves the stock market = Elon can no longer raise capital = $TSLA tanks.
Not to mention shortsellers provide incredible liquidity & slow down the descent of tanking stocks (via covering). So for him to tweet out dumb shit like this to make shortsellers look bad to his minions is hypocritical as fuck. $TSLA wouldn’t exist without shortselling, period!
