A bad guy could short sell the hell outta Tesla, then get a Tesla, put it in her garage, charge it to capacity, put some kind of incendiary device on it, car burns up the evidence along with the car and the house, headlines the next day sends the stock south, she covers her shorts, walks with enough cash to cover the cost of the car and house.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I don’t see why the whole notion of short selling wouldn’t encourage that kind of industrial sabotage.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Now watch some yahoo do exactly that, and the feds come looking for me for giving her the idea. Eeesh. Prediction: if I can think of something like that, people with a lotta money can think of it too. So I predict something like that will happen. It can be something like a deep fake video of the CEO of GameStop saying that he has become a religion guy and now believes there are two different genders, that sorta thing. We saw what that did to Chik-fila. It’s far too easy to imagine.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
