I can only assume you haven't done any real research on Nikola. Those of us who have can see that the claims of "NKLAQ" fit perfectly with what we've already found out. Completely the opposite of what TSLAQ tried to do.

Yes, that's how they explain this sort of thing to people incapable of understanding what it means.

You seem to have the misconception that it's negativity or the short-selling itself that makes $TSLAQ reprehensible. It's not, it's their propensity to distort the truth and to try to harm Tesla's reputation in any way possible. If the negative accusations were true, their actions would not be reprehensible - they would be understandable, beneficial and noble actually.
Investors need to be able to analyze negative info as well as positive info. My BS detector is not going off as I read the Hindenburg Research report on Trevor Milton's past and current history. In fact, it aligns perfectly with what I know about his history and current dealings from other sources. The fact that they disclose a short position is understandable. If my research uncovered a company with no future I would almost certainly want to monetize my discoveries.
That said, in contrast to the Hindenburg Research report, I put very little weight to the lawsuit recently announced because lawyers do lawyering and even reputable companies can make mistakes that are legally actionable. But I don't discount the Hindenburg report simply because the people who wrote it thought it was a good idea to go short. It's actually a good sign that they disclosed that fact.
This subject should matter enough for TSLA investors to maintain a basic awareness of NKLA happenings because both companies operate in the same space (even though NKLA is still pre-production) and there is a lot of "cross-pollination" going on in many less sophisticated investors minds.

Wrong thread for us being NKLAQ, people! (I'm not judging, just saying that this isn't the thread, there's a thread below this one for that.)
And now for short interest. I see it was already posted, but for completeness:
54,890,314 shares shorted, a 10.84% drop (after adjusting for the split). $27.35B at risk, a 34.59% increase. And, Ihor's estimate was somewhere around 60.48M shares shorted, 10.18% above the actual number - he basically entirely missed the covering into the rally.

My snowblower is the only ICK I have left. I have an electric riding lawn mower, weed wacker and leaf blower. Oh, and a couple cars.
What that law firm is doing would have resulted in instant disbarment under strict legal ethics rules that were the norm before the profession started the process of prostituting itself.
This year. He was referring to the Oct 30 weeklies that must have recently been made avail for trading.
That’s correct, this year. I didn’t see them yesterday so I’m guessing they were made available today; not that I’m constantly checking though. Higher strike prices will be released later.
So, like Groucho Marx I think we started our own;

Sigh, TheDrive article about faux wood used as a coolant spacer in the model Y is all over my facebook. Tesla really shoot itself in the foot sometimes when the entire world is putting your cars under a microscope. Can't they at least paint it silver or something vs having it look like a hack job? Munro said the part doesn't affect the performance or reliability so the hack job works, but again it diminish the brand when poor fit and finish is something Tesla is trying to climb out of.
The snobbish tone used in the "purple patch" quote makes me hope that TSLA doesn't join the S&P. Objectively, I can see their point regarding profitability from the use of credits IF they were the average Joe. However, their research should go beyond the media talking heads and the Seeking Az'oles crowd.
I said, back when I first found TMC, that the Street won't quit manipulating TSLA as long as they can make money from doing so. I don't think that the Street is ready to give up their cash cow. If/when TSLA joins the S&P 500 there are so many funds that would be affected by manipulating TSLA that even the SEC would have to take notice.

I checked the Austin weather forecast ... it seems to be clearing ... everyone on site is probably sick of mud.
Yeah I saw that yesterday. What the F are they thinking. I know the part will not fail but come on.

I'm waiting to see the math on that -- I'm assuming there will be a hit to GAAP profit due to stock-based compensation (Elon hitting the next tranche), but I'm not sure how big that is compared to expected profits excluding regulatory credits.
Your only option is to start putting a lot of people on ignore. I think I’m up to 30 people. Too many people posting memes all day long or saying they sold TSLA and asking over and over when they should buy back in.
