Tesla shorts are snapped up

Elon Musk sells a pair of shorts at the strange price of $ 69.420: it's a provocation

Tesla Short Shorts Tesla has put up for sale a pair of short shorts, called Short Shorts, directly on its shop at strange figure of 69,420 dollars. And, of course, the many followers of Elon Musk, who anticipated the start of the sale on Twitter, have literally gone mad.

No, we are not kidding, the image above confirms it, even if currently the shorts can no longer be ordered, as the latest available sizes are also sold out this morning. But what's so special about costing $ 69,420? Ok, they are well made, and the description weaves their qualities: "Celebrate summer with short Tesla shorts. Run and have fun with our design with red and gold satin finishes. Relax by the pool or in the lounge with our limited edition Tesla Short Shorts, with the Tesla logo on the front and "S3XY" on the back. Enjoy exceptional comfort. "

But of course, behind it is the paw of Elon Musk who, as a skilled teacher, staged a provocation of his. All this stems from the record value of Tesla's shares, which reached 1275.18 (12 months ago they were worth $ 230), so much so that the American company had an exchange value even higher than a giant of the car like Toyota .

The increase in Tesla shares is (also) the result of Q2 in 2020 (April-May-June), where, despite the lockdown, the American company produced 82,000 vehicles (of which 6,326 Model S and X and 75,946 between Model 3 and Y) delivering 90,650 (10,600 Model S and X and 80,059 Model 3 and Y).

Musk has decided to celebrate the record by announcing on Twitter the sale of Tesla Short Shorts. Behind the name of shorts, in reality, there is a tease to those who had bet against, i.e. the “Shorts” (a word which means the uncovered sale of shares, which is equivalent to betting on the price of a stock is going down).

Also the price of 69,420 dollars is symbolic because 420 dollars is the clear reference to the listing of the shares in Tesla when Musk, a year ago, he announced to want to withdraw from the Stock exchange and make it private, getting a firm condemnation by the SEC, the body in charge of control of the company quitate.
