To Tesla's credit, their forum has been around a long time. Before, it was probably small enough to not need much attention. But between growth, the financial incentives (shorts), Elon's antics, etc I'm sure it turned into something they stopped wanting to deal with.

Can we stop using shorts as the bogeyman? Tesla shorts have lost billions and true believers have made billions. Short sellers have an important function in the market of both rooting out fraud and as buyers when the stock price starts to decline. Short sellers were blowing the whistle on Wirecard for years, and have been the voice of reason on Nikola, MiMedx, GSX, Valeant, and countless others. Not everyone with a bearish opinion on a stock is going to maliciously sabotage it.
