Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Musk is a very skilled stock price manipulator. He often lures retail to short and then moves the price violently up to force liquidations of shorts - moving the stock price even higher.

He's also done this enough times now that it has scared off many people who would otherwise logically short the stock - effectively removing a natural downward corrective force.
