David Einhorn Thanks Elon Musk in a Tweet After Receiving a Gift of Shorts
(Bloomberg) -- Tesla short seller David Einhorn, in a Twitter post Friday, thanked Elon Musk after receiving a gift of shorts from the chief executive. Shares of the electric-car maker soared earlier this week after Musk tweeted that he was mulling taking the company private. The shares have since pared gains.

Tragic. Will send Einhorn a box of short shorts to comfort him through this difficult time.
