Here's some more math on the situation. The company has only about 19.1 million shares outstanding. Approximately 6.7 million shares are officially short. That puts the official short float at around 35.7%. The days to cover is 10.6. Now here's the part I think some people are missing: if roughly 1 million shares get locked up this week by Russell, iShares, and other index-style holders, that means about 1 million fewer shares are actually trading freely. So the shorts aren't really up against 19 million easily available shares. They could be facing a much smaller real tradable float. This suggests that with fewer shares for shorts to access, the potential for a squeeze might be larger than some realize. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ had its hype cyc
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ I think Tesla could consider making electric Humvees for the US military and other military vehicles. This could be a significant opportunity for Elon and Tesla to enter the defense sector, potentially leading to a major contract with the US military.

The rocket always wins. Shorting TSLA is a great retirement plan — if your goal is to retire from having money. Tesla shorts celebrate the same holiday every year: 'Oops, I Did It Again Day'.

$NIO Inc.(NIO)$ I still think it's going to happen based on profitability and higher sales. NIO's share price will gradually increase. I still say $8 a share by the end of June 2026, $10 to $12 by the end of 2026, and $20 to $25 by the end of 2027. A 300% increase in share price is expected over the next year and a half or so.
