I mean, if you spent $$$$ shorting Tesla stock, then a week later the stock nosedived in response to a tweet and you made a big profit, that doesn't prove you were behind the tweet.
It wouldn't even be illegal, unless there was independent proof you were behind the hack. Without that, you just placed a bet which happened to be a lucky one - just like anyone else who was short Tesla.
Yes, it would be ... but it would also be hard to prove.
