Elon Musk has a bit of P.T. Barnum in him—a knack for
understanding what’s attention-grabbing and entertaining, and it’s
a key part of what has kept his ambitious companies alive when most
others would have gone under. But as the entrepreneur’s electric
car company, Tesla, flirts with financial disaster, there’s a sense
out there, even among Musk fans, that perhaps the ol’ razzle-dazzle
won’t be enough this time.It now has about 11billion short
positions on Tesla.While people have been shorting Tesla since the
company went public years ago, the current abundance of shorts is
staggering, Elon Musk is clearly more of a genius than Steve Jobs
ever was, but Steve was more of a pro than Elon Musk has ever
been.”
