Short selling Tesla stock is a losing game in 2023. How big a loss has it been?

Tesla TSLA, -0.53% is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings later Wednesday, which could add to short sellers’ losses in the longer term.Tesla short sellers, frequently vilified by Chief Executive Elon Musk, have given back more than a third of last year’s $15.85 billion of mark-to-market profits, S3 said.

But even after the bountiful April, Tesla shorts are down $5.52 billion in the year to date, S3 said.
