Elon Musk Warns SpaceX Short Sellers on X
Elon Musk used his account on the platform X to send a clear signal to investors who maintain sizable short positions in SpaceX.
He stated that the probability of such firms surviving over time is “very low.”
The remark came while SpaceX’s shares were experiencing volatility following its recent public offering, with the stock trading under the ticker $SPCX.
Short‑selling involves betting on a decline in the share price; Musk’s comment highlights the risk attached to such positions, especially when the company is subject to significant market swings.
Market observers note that this is the first public warning from Musk directed specifically at short sellers of the rocket manufacturer, and no further details about thresholds or potential consequences were provided.
