Tesla now sells red satin shorts that mock short-sellers



Say what you want about Elon Musk's controversial opinions and actions, there's no arguing that the man has a keen sense of humor. After surpassing Toyota as the world's most valuable automaker, Tesla — surely at Musk's behest — has taken time to poke fun at the company's short-selling naysayers with sales of red satin shorts.

"Limited edition short shorts now available," CEO Elon Musk tweeted on Sunday.

A short time later he tweeted, "Dang, we broke the website." Must have been more popular than Musk expected.

This isn't the first time that Musk has taken umbrage at short-sellers. In 2018, he sent a box of shorts to hedge fund owner and Tesla short-seller David Einhorn.
