Will it be possible for listed companies to prohibit short-selling of their stocks?

Edit: If so, I'm pretty sure Tesla Inc. would be happy to participate in your beta program.

No

Some of the standards we hope to file in the future could affect the volume of shares available for short activity, but that would be an indirect consequence of encouraging longer holding periods.

Edit: indeed. But we don’t do anything to help with CEO tweeting :)

Does the volume limitation mean that there would be an option for an investor to buy without allowing the brokerages to borrow the stock out to short sellers?

There’s no volume limitation and the specific implementation you mention is not correct. But you’re on the right track, something like this is indeed possible.
