The Tesla short community has always been full of much more professional investors who pay attention to diversification and position sizing. People like Chanos/Einhorn, with probably a $100 million+ short position, are only risking a few percent of their funds. It’s relatively easy for them to liquidate other positions to provide collateral in the case the stock goes up. Also many own options to cap losses from going up.
As for the Tesla retail shorters, I still don’t know anyone in that camp who has their entire capital bet against Tesla. Tesla longs are a much different story...
