Interesting. I think Musk will be under tones of pressure. How would one play the market against him? Shorts?

Once he's taken it private, supposing he succeeds, you can't short the stock anymore as there won't be shares to borrow (or buy, or sell).

That is the thing. I would never bet against him but I don’t think he will pull this through

Oh, I see. In that case the stock is likely to decline from current levels and you should short it. (Not Investment Advice!)
