Last week, Musk said that he also planned to send some Tesla shorts to the SEC, who sued him over his statement that he “secured funding” for private investors to buy Tesla at $420 at the time.īack in 2018, Musk sent a box of short shorts to David Einhorn, a famous hedge fund manager who has a big short position on Tesla.

Tesla is selling the shorts for $69.420 - numbers often used in juvenile jokes, but 420 is also the price at which Musk planned to take Tesla private a few years ago.

The internet went crazy for it and broke Tesla’s shop website, which quickly started malfunctioning after Musk tweeted the link to its 36 million followers on Twitter.
