Chanos tried really hard to bash BABA around $60, he said he shorted it, BABA's accounting is like Enron, etc. Look what happened to BABA in a few months, it's now above $100.
I am not saying Tesla will react the same way as BABA. I am saying Chanos gets wrong more often than right. I think he makes money through market manipulation instead of intelligent analysis. The credibility is extremely important for these manipulators, so when they say something, they can get the wolf pack to act together to move the stock. Once the Tesla story is fully unfold, this Chanos will completely lose his credibility. Some investors already know what he is about.
