There is a funny video of Adolf Hitler as a fictional Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) short seller making the rounds on trading desks Monday.

A maddened Hitler exclaims "At some point, you have to expect people to place some sort of rational valuation on the stock... Can any one of you "financial genius" give me a single reason the stock is trading at $150? $85 I could understanding, even $100 seemed possible. But $120, $130, $140 - it's madness, madness!"

"I want you to call my broker. I want him to double down on my shorts... I am not going to let this position beat me, there's too much at stake."

While fictional, the episode could be being played out in real life across Wall Street. Shares of Tesla hit another new high of $172.75 today.
