Tesla is not the most shorted stock in history. It's not even number one right now. Alibaba has more shorts, by absolute value, and Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, General Electric and Procter & Gamble have all recently had larger shorts by relative value.

The shorts aren't behind a massive conspiracy to destroy Tesla. Hell, this summer, Elon Musk almost destroyed Tesla all on his own and he's Tesla's biggest shareholder.

Tesla's problem is a constant failure to properly execute. It's happened with every model they've made, with every endeavor they've undertaken. They've constantly over-promised and just as constantly under-delivered. (And please, none of this BS about how they're trying to accomplish great things. Other companies are also trying to accomplish great things--and actually succeed in doing so without constantly bragging about what they're trying to do.)

Tesla may have a great vision for cars. But a great vision without proper execution just means having the best seats for watching someone else succeed in their place.
