Musk: Short sellers had us in checkmate. In his X Takeover 2026 interview with Tesla Owners Silicon Valley, Elon Musk looks back at 2018, when he says Tesla had to get to 5,000 Model 3s a week or go bankrupt. "They had us in checkmate. But we just... invented a new piece, basically, that didn't exist before." The new piece: Musk says Tesla maxed out its two production lines and built a third one in a tent in the parking lot. The lot sat on a slight incline, so they started the line at the top, and a tiny moving line meant for parts could move whole cars because they were going slightly downhill. He says the short sellers "were actually right": they had extremely good inside information and thought there was no way Tesla could solve the production choke point. #elonmusk #tesla #model3 #stocks #business #techtok #entrepreneur #fyp
