Left, the legendary short seller behind Citron Research, is back at shorting Tesla Inc. TSLA, -18.61% stock, which on Tuesday rose nearly 14% to close at a record $887.06, its sixth straight session of gains.

This is no longer about the technology, it has become the new Wall St casino. According to financial technology and analytics firm S3, the number of Tesla shares shorted have decreased by 1.37 million shares, or 5.30%, over the past month as the stock had risen nearly 50%. Over the past week, shorts have declined by 651,000 shares, or 2.6%.
