If you do it in "real" markets, you get the attention of the SEC or similar agencies in other countries. Crypto is completely unregulated in this regard.

  There are literally millions of put/short orders placed against TSLA every day. I don't think they track the intentions of every single one.

    No, but if someone managed to hack a bunch of Teslas and cause chaos, driving their stock down, you can bet law enforcement would be looking at shorting activity.

      Bad hacks are announced fairly regularly. I highly doubt law enforcement investigates shorts everytime one happens.
