Tesla Short Sellers Have A Horrible Record On Tesla Production & Sales — Truly Funny Tweets
It seems that Tesla has had critics since the day it came out of stealth — or before that. Even CEO and co-founder Elon Musk didn’t expect the company to succeed. He simply poured his money into it on the slim chance that it would succeed, and would thus help humanity to avert tremendous climate catastrophe. Of course, he feels differently about the company now that it has succeeded than on Day 1. But this story isn’t about Elon Musk.
Those of us who have been following Tesla for a while can surely remember that the company was being attacked in the press, by many on Wall Street, and by auto industry experts the day we first learned about young automaker. As I highlighted recently when launching an annual “Tesla Death Anniversary” celebration, a “Tesla Death Watch” series kicked off on another media outlet way back on May 19, 2008 — 11 years ago. Every year since then — well, probably every day since then — someone somewhere has been claiming that Tesla’s death is just around the corner, that it will go bankrupt any day.
Needless to say, Tesla is still here. And the claims continue.
