    And general assembly tent 5 was lost as well.

    Thankfully workers have been furloughed for a week due to no Model 3 demand and were safe at home with their families.

    All except Elon Musk who was, tragically, sleeping on the floor of the tent at the time.

    Sources familiar with the cardboard pile's thinking stated that it just couldn't keep its cool among all the flaming FUD, according to two boxes familiar with the matter.

    Quick question: is there anybody else who is getting targeted ads on reddit (reddit mobile) with anti-Tesla content? For the last days pretty much all ads on reddit for me have turned into an ad for some guy asking for Elon Musk's removal from Tesla...

    Seems like more and more registers are being pulled.

    I wonder why 430 calls (not 420?) exp dec were most bought. They must be expecting a massive squeeze. I remember there were some earlier posts today about the call spread being really out of whack. Obviously something going on

    I recommend to login into reddit only when you want to post something. It's a general recommendation for most of the social sites.
    If you allowed to build a history=profile on you, you will be bombarded with such targeted crap all the time.

    Alternatively, uMatrix + uBlock Origin to filter unwanted JS/CSS/etc (including ads where you don't want them).

    Just to make sure this came through: it was a joke - I have no idea whether UBS has any TSLA short position. I also have no idea what their motivation is to out-FUD even Chanos.

    I think most large shorts could exit at around $250, which I speculate to be the break-even price of their short position.

    Assuming that most of the large TSLA shorts came to Tesla from Solar City, a $250 price is roughly the volume weighted average price of the SCTY slide up to the merger with Tesla.

    While they might have averaged their positions higher since the merger, the maintenance costs of keeping a short position for such a long time constantly adds costs and effectively reduces the entry price over time.

    Does anyone here know or have good guesses about the position sizes of the biggest TSLA shorts? 33 million shares short interest is a lot, so there must be a couple of really, really big short positions - and I'm not sure it's all just Chanos's.
