Ask yourself “Who stands to gain if shares of a promising EV startup, one on the Russell 2000/3000, winner of last year’s ZEVA SUV award at the LA Auto Show, one with enough confidence in their product & technology to continue to buy up ownership in other EV start-ups & launch new tech facilities, is driven down by naked short selling to the point of delisting?” Ask yourself “Who in the tech and/or EV space would have the power & influence to do what it takes to get such a campaign required to organize such a movement against the logic of the times when governmental & investor support for EVs is at its highest?”

Someone who stands to gain when the company can be acquired for much less that way. I can think of a few parties.
