The value of Elon Musk’s electric car company has halved over the past three months.

Hedgefund short sellers have made $16.2bn betting against Tesla’s shares as the value of Elon Musk’s electric car company has halved over the past three months. Traders positioned to make money from falls in the share price have accumulated the paper profits since the stock’s closing high on December 17, according to data provider S3 Partners. Tesla’s market value has plunged by more than $700bn over the same period, wiping more than $100bn from Musk’s net worth. The Tesla chief executive’s public interventions in European politics including support for far-right parties have contributed to falling car sales across Europe, while the swingeing cuts he is making to federal government spending as head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency have also sparked a backlash.
