“@fan_of_racing @bkent136 @macodiseas @katlinegrey SpaceX Merlin architecture is simpler than staged combustion (eg SSME or RD), but it has world record for thrust/weight & thrust/cost engine. Raptor has better Isp, but I’m worried it may fall short on those two critical metrics.”
“As a thank you to Tesla short sellers, we named a 💨 after them haha https://t.co/5GCgM4RT4W https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/19/listen-to-a-tesla-make-6-farting-noises-on-demand/”
“You can summon your Tesla from your phone. Only short distances today, but in a few years summon will work from across the continent.”
“@SeanGVarney That is true & should be applauded. Right move is for oil companies truly to think of themselves as energy companies, but move rapidly towards clean, sustainable energy. Means lower profits short-term, but will make them stronger long-term.”
“@MebFaber When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Way the trick works is companies like Blackrock keep up to 50% of short interest revenue, but suffer almost none of equity decline, as they’re just “passive” managers. Blackrock made $597M in short lending last year!”
“@MebFaber Not all. However, shorting applied to market as a whole is obv net negative — it incents negative gdp! Moreover, it stops private companies from going public, preventing access by retirement funds & small investors, thus increasing wealth divide. https://t.co/7jk2Bs56HR https://www.businessinsider.com/us-has-too-few-publicly-listed-companies-2015-6?r=UK&IR=T”
“@annerajb @KishavanBhola @enn_nafnlaus @ElonBachman The big funds can & will, as they’re suffering a net loss. Index managers like Blackrock pocket make excessive profit from short lending while pretending to charge low rates for “passive” index tracking.”
“@KishavanBhola @enn_nafnlaus @ElonBachman Where this breaks down is in passive index funds, which constitute most of the market. The holders of those funds, mostly small investors & retirement funds, don’t realize that their stocks are being lent to short sellers, diminishing their true equity return.”
“@KishavanBhola @enn_nafnlaus @ElonBachman There is no rational basis for a long holder to lend their stock to shorts, as it dilutes the shareholder base & gives the short a strong incentive to attack the company by whatever means possible, including regulators”
“@FCalciu @derekGUMB @Scobleizer @Tesla @SEC_Enforcement Exactly. Short-sellers are value destroyers. Should definitely be illegal.”
“@megangale @Tesla Sorry, we’ve gone from production hell to delivery logistics hell, but this problem is far more tractable. We’re making rapid progress. Should be solved shortly.”
“What are your fav short shorts?”
“Short shorts coming soon to Tesla merch”
“@MindFieldMusic Def no forced sales. Hope all shareholders remain. Will be way smoother & less disruptive as a private company. Ends negative propaganda from shorts.”
“Dang, turns out even Hitler was shorting Tesla stock … https://t.co/RLM1VQ5O3K https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wxEClGh6Mus”
“@tictoc Tragic. Will send Einhorn a box of short shorts to comfort him through this difficult time.”
“Worth another retweet. Hope Dan Neil returns to Twitter. He left due to relentless attacks from short-sellers, who constantly peddle fear, uncertainty & doubt about Tesla. Dan won the Pulitzer & is considered by many to be the best car critic in the world. https://t.co/txW3DDJpth https://x.com/tesla/status/1020012323606487041”
“@Vivek_17m @thanr The pumps I saw were running v high flow rate all the way from cave 3. They stopped shortly after boys were rescued & water level rose to roof level all way back to cave 1. That was great work.”
“@vincent13031925 @TeslaBull @scottwww @stetopinini @S_Padival @lopezlinette So @lopezlinette publicly stated she stans for Chanos, Tesla’s most prominent short-seller. In her words, he is “one of the greatest.” Her articles print Chanos’s view verbatim. This is not journalism.”
“@scottwww @stetopinini @S_Padival @lopezlinette .@lopezlinette You stated publicly that you “see eye to eye” with Chanos, the most prominent short-seller of Tesla. Have you ever provided him with material non-public information about Tesla?”
“@S_Padival @lopezlinette Sounds very sketchy if true. @lopezlinette, is it possible you’re serving as an inside trading source for one of Tesla’s biggest short-sellers? An ex-Tesla employee just went on record formally claiming you bribed him & he sent you valuable Tesla IP in exchange. Is this true?”
“Who likes short shorts? https://t.co/hoKsDT8xdS https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xm3nxNF7j8U&t=36s”
“@FredericLambert @SwiftOnSecurity They have about three weeks before their short position explodes”
“@indiemusicfan9 @dimas_______ @Robotbeat @doctorow ...which clearly doesn’t work. UAW and Wall Street shorts know every detail of what’s happening at Tesla. Storm clouds are gathering, so they’re getting desperate.”
“@TeslaCharts How big is your short position? Just curious.”
“@michaelshermer Direct democracy by the people. Laws must be short, as there is trickery in length. Automatic expiration of rules to prevent death by bureaucracy. Any rule can be removed by 40% of people to overcome inertia. Freedom.”
“Looks like sooner than expected. The sheer magnitude of short carnage will be unreal. If you’re short, I suggest tiptoeing quietly to the exit … https://t.co/A0Q90pSLKA https://www.barrons.com/articles/tesla-almost-out-of-stock-for-short-sellers-1525467892?mod=yahoobarrons&ru=yahoo&yptr=yahoo”
“Oh and uh short burn of the century comin soon. Flamethrowers should arrive just in time.”
“The 2 questioners I ignored on the Q1 call are sell-side analysts who represent a short seller thesis, not investors”
“First, it’s important to know that Tesla is the most shorted (meaning most bet against) stock on the market & has been for a while https://t.co/srEp1tf6ZU https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/tesla-is-the-biggest-short-in-the-us-stock-market.html”
“@MKBHD @HyperChangeTV The “dry” questions were not asked by investors, but rather by two sell-side analysts who were trying to justify their Tesla short thesis. They are actually on the *opposite* side of investors. HyperChange represented actual investors, so I switched to them.”
“This is kinda nutty for such a short distance, so could easily end up being shredded metal, but exciting either way”
“Will be at SXSW Sat/Sun with Jonah & Lisa, who created Westworld. Jonah made an incredible short reel of Falcon Heavy & Starman. Releases tmrw aft.”
“@FredericLambert A Loop is like a Hyperloop, but without drawing a vacuum inside the tube. Don’t need to get rid of air friction for short routes.”
“Not saying the next gen Roadster special upgrade package *will* definitely enable it to fly short hops, but maybe … Certainly possible. Just a question of safety. Rocket tech applied to a car opens up revolutionary possibilities.”
“Btw, high accel only needed because tube is short. For passenger transport, this can be spread over 20+ miles, so no spilt drinks.”
“@aylaberan True. Need to explain full story of Tesla. So much nonsense out there, amplified by propaganda from some in fossil fuels & confused shorts.”
“We *def* don't recommended this, but Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat for short periods of time. Thrust via wheel rotation.”
“@Tweetermeyer things like this should be purged shortly”
“Should mention that Tesla Motors itself had nothing to do with the short movie. This was completely independent.”
“@sasatokic @mashable Front doors have a short arc and their interior panels are chamfered back”
“Falcon 9 experienced a problem shortly before first stage shutdown. Will provide more info as soon as we review the data.”
“What are the best riddles you've heard that are short enough for Twitter?”
“Ok, looks like we got some killer footage from the chase plane. Big ocean, small ship. Posting vid shortly http://t.co/2F5FK0TZ0i”
“Kinda trippy seeing myself on @SouthPark. I've watched the show ever since the J vs SC short. Brian Boitano!”
“@KAlHomoud Superchargers in Canada will go live in 6 to 8 weeks. Update on forums shortly.”
“Should mention that the battery cells used for this are 200 Wh/kg vs 250 for Model S. No short term supply constraint.”
“@UFrugger10 I agree. Will be restored shortly.”
“@grimmerkimmer @dpinsen Given the extreme burn, shorts are pushing every possible fear, uncertainty & doubt story http://t.co/LWr3GODxBG http://www.thestreet.com/story/11919380/1/cramer-wont-wait-for-tesla.html”
“@dpinsen People tell me Cory Johnson is a shill for the shorts. Don't know if true, but he sure behaves that way.”
