<p class="has-drop-cap">According to Bloomberg’s <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-10/hedge-funds-shorting-tesla-just-lost-more-than-5-billion" target="_blank" aria-label="reporting (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">reporting</a>, hedge funds that had bet against Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) have faced substantial financial losses following <a href="https://tokenist.com/tesla-stock-jumps-14-as-trump-announced-2024-election-winner/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">Donald Trump’s election victory</a>. Since the election on November 5, Tesla shares have surged nearly 30%, translating into an increase of over $200 billion in market value. <br><br>This remarkable growth has pushed the company’s valuation past the $1 trillion mark by the end of the first week after the election. Notably, the proportion of hedge funds holding net short positions against Tesla has decreased significantly, from 17% in early July to just 7% as of November 6.</p>

<p>The stock price movement of Tesla has been a focal point of attention, reflecting broader market reactions and investor sentiment. Between the election day and the subsequent Friday, hedge funds with short positions against Tesla incurred losses exceeding $5.2 billion.</p>
<p>This period saw many hedge funds unwinding their short bets, a trend that was accelerated by the stock’s upward trajectory. The surge in Tesla’s stock price was partly fueled by Elon Musk’s endorsement of Donald Trump on July 13, which seemed to have bolstered investor confidence.</p>
