Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has said shorting is legal "only for vestigial reasons". The comment comes a day after retail investors caused a rally in video game retailer GameStop's shares.
The traders caused a surge in GameStop's share price, causing a short squeeze and hurting hedge funds who had shorted the stock.
Musk also put out another tweet that took a dig at "shorty apologists".u can’t sell houses u don’t own
