I have been semi-actively trading tesla for a little under a year, and have noticed this exact pattern. Every runup in price is followed by a spate of articles dogging the stock.<p>It&#x27;s so, so noticeable that I would be surprised if there isn&#x27;t some money behind this orchestration. And, of course, we can see from the most-shorted lists at NASDAQ that there is quite a lot of money short on Tesla.
