I'm not sure this works. A lot of the folks who're short on Tesla are big names with trading records who've been short on Tesla for a while. If you roll up and your first stock trade is to buy some short term put options right before the hack and then cash out immediately[1], that's going to be distinguishable and suspicious.
Any efforts to defer that (using a patsy with an established trading history, buying longer-term options, buying them earlier) cuts into your margins, and may well not work (since again, you've got to be the first one out since you know it's a momentary dip).
[1] - Remember, you know this is a momentary dip because you know the hack is going to get discovered soon, but the other investors don't know where the bottom is.
