>There's a $10+ billion short position against TSLA, constituting over 25% of outstanding shares.

Where do you get these stats?

Is there some place where we can see how many people are shorting different stocks?

It's educated guessing, from analysts, according to what I've seen.[1] That said, it's not just a large short position, it's the largest (recently surpassing Apple shorts). Given that Apple's market cap is 15 times that of Tesla, that's quite a lot.

Look up a stock on WSJ, for example: https://quotes.wsj.com/TSLA

Note 'Shares Sold Short', multiply by value of stock.
