Nuclear is their attempt at creating something, which I might mention is expressly opposite the vision of something that Tesla with its batteries represent.
It might surprise you how much ego there is in investing.
Something really doesn't make sense here, but there aren't enough details in your post to tell if fund managers are really being that irrational, or if the post itself just doesn't make sense.
The push for nuclear, with the goal of becoming the base load instead, is meant to subvert and supplant that narrative.
I'm willing to believe the players on the stage are marionettes, but I need to be told where to look for the strings so I can see them for myself. Exactly how are these sour Tesla shorts pushing nuclear?
To everyone else, hedge funds don’t give a shit about what actually happens except that they can make money on it. And if you’re curious about how salty hedge funds can get when they lose on a trade, I recommend looking up the Herbalife saga. Tesla and GameStop are still currently ongoing examples as well.
Without any verifiable examples of things Tesla shorts are doing to promote nuclear power, your statement comes across as a conspiracy theory.
