After the election, shorting electric vehicle giants, hedge funds lost 5.2 billion dollars.

Since the results of the U.S. election were announced, some hedge funds that have persisted in shorting a well-known electric vehicle company have suffered heavy losses. Data shows that the paper losses for these funds have reached tens of billions of dollars.

Analysts point out that the special relationship between the company's CEO and the newly elected president may be a significant factor contributing to this situation. According to market data statistics, from election day to last Friday's close, hedge funds holding shorting positions in the company have accumulated losses of at least $5.2 billion.

This massive loss highlights the unpredictability of market trends influenced by political factors and reflects that some investors may have underestimated the potential benefits of the company's relationships with political elites. For funds that insist on a shorting strategy, this is undoubtedly a severe test that may prompt them to reassess their investment strategies and risk management methods.
