Tesla mocks shortsellers with sale of red satin shorts

Elon Musk has made good on his promise to release "Tesla short shorts". Over the weekend, the Tesla founder and CEO unveiled a pair of red satin shorts on Tesla's online store in an apparent dig at naysayers and short-sellers.

"Limited edition short shorts now available," Musk tweeted. Shortly afterwards, he tweeted at the popularity of the shorts "broke the [Tesla] website."

The "Short Shorts" on the Tesla shop website feature gold trim, a Tesla logo on the front left side and "S3XY" in gold across the back, which also happens to be formed from Tesla model names - Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y.

The shorts cost $69.420, the last three digits an apparent reference to Musk's infamous tweet in 2018 that he was considering taking Tesla private for $420 per share, with 420 also a code word for marijuana.

Tesla is expected to announce earnings results for April-June quarter this month, with analysts saying the second-quarter deliveries had heightened expectations that it will report four consecutive quarters of profit for the first time in its history.
