I think you are wrong on Musk’s behavior, but don’t really care to argue it. I know much shorts can hurt a company’s stock price, and myself own stock where the number of shorts have gone off into the stratosphere.(above even the 34% that you say never happens). That all needs to go into any

Nothing is inherently wrong with short selling, which is permissible under the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, the 'short and distort' type of short seller uses misinformation and a bear market to manipulate stocks. S is illegal, as is its counterpart, the

That does not say California. The Brown administration is hustling to compete with four other states — Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas — for what Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk calls his “gigafactory.” Musk has described California as a “long shot” for snagging the proposed plant.
