Einhorn has 48,000 followers on Twitter and his message hit a nerve after Musk on Wednesday overshadowed his company’s strong first quarter results with comments about stay-at-home restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus. Musk called for an end to California’s stay-at-home orders, describing them as “fascist” and a “serious risk” to his business.
The hedge fund manager’s Thursday tweet was retweeted nearly 700 times and liked more than 2,500 times. Representatives for Einhorn and Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment.Greenlight Capital’s Einhorn has long bet that Tesla’s share price would drop, holding onto a view that has hurt his portfolio.
