    I hope this guy chokes on every dollar he makes from his Tesla short. At this point, I'm tired of hearing how Musk is screwing up Tesla. If he has a better idea, put it forward.

    I'm not a Musk fanboy but it irritates me when these know it all are ready to talk a stock down just so they can make a buck by shorting it. If he has a better idea tell us about it rather that just telling us how bad Musk is doing. Ultimately, he is either going to succeed or fail but no one knows the future. I hate this saying but it fits well this time. "Opinions are like aholes everyone has one"

    Nothing new: shorts have been saying Tesla is going out of business for years. This analysis is a wild-ass guess that Tesla has absolutely no idea how to build higher-volume medium-priced cars. Maybe they do, maybe they don't, but this analysis isn't going to tell anyone anything.

    I do find it interesting how skewed the market value of Tesla is verses GM and Ford... Regardless of if the model 3 puts tesla out of business or not, I do think the share price is due for a correction in the next 9 months or so.

    This guy better be putting all his 9 million dollars into this short.
