Margin call
You short 10 shares at $400 and you have $4500 in your account.
The stock is wildly swinging around and temporarily goes up to $440/share.
Your position would cost $4400 and you only have $4500 in your account, so your broker says "oh no! If TSLA goes up a little more we might never get our money back from this customer" so they liquidate your position while they still can.
