Short interest on Elon Musk's Tesla begining to pile up. Has musk shot himself in the foot with the ongoing Twitter drama and the pro Russian/Putin connection?

Elon Musk's feigned 'maverick' posturing may be coming undone, Twitter drama aside with an attempt at gaining momentum with his bizarre alt-right, paleolibertarian and 'extreme' right wing "don't take me seriously" drawcard that these idiots pull from time to time.  Yet this time around he has probably shot himself in the foot, on his Ukraine peace plan that he touted on Twitter, that was in favor of Russia.  Never mind the human rights atrocities carried out by Putin's invading army.   If what is true, that Musk actually conferred with Putin before sending off the Tweet, aligns how much swing Putin still has over the like minded politicians, commentators and celebrities' of the right wing persuasion within America and Europe.   

Anyway, short positions on Musk's Tesla.  Refer above chart/s.  Trading range at $2017 (Ironically the year when Trump met Putin) and $200, with a break below $200 offering further short positions.  Correlating with interest/rates knock on effect to NASDAQ and growth stocks.
