I have automatic positions in gold and bitcoin but heavily armed regiment and a well-regulated militia arrayed with Elon Musk as a seller of TSLA shares. A slight difference is that he is selling newly issued shares in exchange for cash in the Tesla bank, whereas I shorted a Tonka Truckload of TSLA shares, twice. One at $1100 and one at about $2100 [I forget the third significant figures].

My selling prices were considerably higher than Elon's sale prices so I guess I'm doing better than he is in that way. Elon says he hates shorts but he too sees what he thinks is a price too high and sells $billions in newly printed shares. I can't print new ones, diluting everyone. I can sell only existing shares. He's the more evil if evil is to be ascribed. I magnanimously provide liquidity when others cower in fear and index followers need to buy no matter what. Noblesse oblige. We shorts should get recognition for bravery and heroic action on the front lines of price discovery.

I have just moved financial relativity theory MMT cash nuclear bombs in preparation for a third short at over $3000 in old shares, but on a larger scale, a bit like atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to make up for losses in Japanese prisoner camp and Pearl Harbour. Okay, I admit that's a perhaps inappropriate analogy but that's what came to mind so it's near enough for government work.

Historical note .... mother's cousin Jim Bongard died a year ago and his Japanese wife has now sold the house and moved back to Japan. She was vry happy that I was a bidder [not the highest] and helped get her a much better price than the reserve. Jim was in the occupation force after WWII. His and my mother's cousin Harper Bongard died in a prisoner of war camp in Japan. Yet another cousin, my uncle Jim Kirk, survived a German prisoner of war camp. My father survived 4 years fighting Germans in the Middle East and Africa, which was very fortunate for me and my descendants. Some of the 20th century was very horrific.

I prefer financial relativity theory wars in Cyberspace.
