Short sellers aren't the only ones getting screwed. If you had taken a long position by buying call options with a strike price over $420, you're not gonna have a good time. For example, the bids on $430 call options expiring in January and June 2019 were down ~20% and ~25%, respectively. If Elon's plan goes to fruition, those options can (probably) never be exercised. The further out the expiry and the higher the strike, the worse it gets. Liquidity just evaporated, and the spreads are getting wider.
