  1. A Alvarez, If, as Elon hopes, shareholders are willing to sell 30% of their shares at $420, then it will only take $11 billion to buy them all. And if they are willing to sell 25% it will cost $6.8 billion. Would it really be that difficult to raise between $6.8 and $11 billion when the Saudis just invested around $2.5 billion on the open market after practically begging Tesla to issue new shares for them to buy? Elon and Tesla refused the Saudis offer several times already which forced them to buy 5% of Tesla on the open market. They probably want to buy more, so this all makes sense. After talking to Musk again and again about it, he's finally, "considering" accepting their offer. It's not like Tesla went to them begging for them to invest in Tesla so that they could raise capital. What has apparently happened is that the Saudis have been begging Tesla to let them invest. Given this, any reasonable person would believe that funding is secured. I supposed this means that Musk is a reasonable person.

  2. A Alvarez, "Nobody had agreed to his price or to fund his plan yet." Really? You know that for sure? Were you in the meeting with Musk and the Saudis or something?

  3. So, was Musk in his car on the way to the airport for a flight on his private jet to Nevada when he sent the tweet? Or was he at home tripping on acid with Azealia Banks? It seems like it would be real easy to check the airports to find out if Musk flew to Nevada shortly after sending the tweet. Don't you think? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/16/business/elon-musk-interview-tesla.html "That morning, Mr. Musk woke up at home with his girlfriend, the musician known as Grimes, and had an early workout. Then he got in a Tesla Model S and drove himself to the airport. En route, Mr. Musk typed his fateful message." Azealia Banks' story is absolutely ridiculous. Do you really believe Musk has time to spend tripping on acid before he heads to work? If he's got that much spare time, why would he be so stressed?

  5. Yeah, but without the shorts, who would create the short squeeze that everyone who's long is going to profit from? All that money has to come from somewhere, doesn't it?

  6. Daus DK, That's true, but the more profit Tesla is able to make on each car sold, the more money they will have to invest in increased production and in research and development. More profit == faster growth And the faster they grow, the faster they can change the world for the better. Apple is the same except the, "change the world for the better" part. They could care less about making the world better. It's too bad that Google and Facebook are just like Apple. Maybe Google isn't quite as bad as Apple, but they're up there.

  7. LOL You're probably right.

  8. Justin's Mom, Why would Musk lie? To screw over the shorts? Why then did he mention a fund so that all current shareholders could keep their investment in Tesla? That is completely unnecessary if all he wanted to do is screw over the shorts. Mentioning the fund was because he wants to reduce the number of shareholders to below 2,0000 so that Tesla would no longer be regulated by the SEC. He said that this would reduce operating costs by 10%. He also needed to mention this because he knows that most shareholders want to keep their investment in Tesla and would vote, "no" on going private if it meant they would have to sell their shares. Why would he care if the current shareholders would vote, "no" or not if he was not serious about, "considering" taking Tesla private? This is all obvious to someone who has a functioning brain. Therefor the SEC is wasting their time with their investigation.

  9. SP3NT, You're right. My opinion doesn't matter. What matters is that what I'm saying is right. And because I'm right, the SEC will investigate and find that he's done nothing wrong. He didn't lie. And he was just "considering" taking Tesla private. And now, they're looking into it to see if it's a good idea or not.

  10. Justin's Mom, Why do you care so much? You've posted a ton of comments on this video, and you keep coming back to post more. I'm confused about why you're wasting your time on Tesla and Musk when it's obvious that you want the company to fail. It seems like you're doing a lot of work with no benefit. Why would you waste your time like that?

  11. Justin's Mom, Well, over the long run the stock has been going up. Sure, it's very volatile and goes up and down a lot every day. But, if you wait it out, it eventually goes up. The problem is, those who believe that Tesla is going to fail don't understand that there are so many members of the, "Tesla Cult" that it can't fail. They have a waiting list over 400,000 long when production is around 5,000/week. That's insane. No other company has experienced that in history. This gives them a HUGE advantage over any other car company startup. If this were a normal company with no cult following, they would have failed long ago.

  12. Alexander Hamilton, I've been thinking about that. Most companies keep everything secret until it's finalized. They have trading blackouts for employees all the time because they might have insider information. Insider information leaks all the time and sometimes people get in trouble with the SEC for insider trading. Sometimes they get away with it. However with Tesla, have they ever had a trading blackout? I wonder. It seems that Tesla isn't keeping any secrets. Musk tweets everything he knows. And what does the media say about it? "OMG, he's tweeted again. He's out of control. Tesla needs a new CEO." It doesn't make sense. It seems to me that maybe Musk is doing what every CEO should be doing.

  15. Actually it's the investigation that has caused significant market confusion and disruption. And this investigation has causes shareholders to lose A LOT MORE MONEY than Elon Musk's tweets.

  16. There should probably be a class action suit filed by Tesla shareholders against the SEC for their losses. How many billions have they lost now because of their actions? Maybe the SEC should be responsible for paying back the shareholders for those losses.

  17. Why is it bad for a bunch of retail investors to buy a stock, and OK for institutional investors to short the stock? And why are Robinhood and WeBull allowed to force the stock price down by only allowing people to sell and blocking them from buying? Isn’t forcing the stock price to decrease like that considered market manipulation? And isn’t market manipulation illegal?

  18. Do you think he's actually "managing" his 3 companies, 4 kids kids, hot girlfriend, and 2 dogs? Someone else is managing all of the right now except Tesla where Elon is 100% focused on micromanaging. That's his problem. He doesn't have time to micromanage everything at Tesla, but apparently it's necessary. At least until they get the production rates up and the costs down. He might have been able to manage it a lot better if he had hired a consulting firm to help out, but had he done that, he would have probably not invented any new manufacturing methods, and whatever methods he'd have would be what everyone else has. Also, if you watch the documentaries on the history of Tesla, they tried outsourcing things for the first Roadster and it didn't go very well. Everything they got wasn't good enough and had to be redesigned by them anyway. So who knows? He could have done things differently, and it might have worked out better, or it might not have. He's probably micromanaging because that's what he's learned is necessary to get the job done right.

  19. Actually, shorting at $360 would have been genius. Then they should have bought back twice what they shorted yesterday morning when it was below $300. At this point it's too late. Tesla is headed back up. The only problem is, this would have been very risky since nobody knew that it would drop down to below $300 yesterday.

  21. +Shel DeMax, I believe the price really depends on how long it takes to complete. If there's good news in Q3, the stock might go above $420. Then short term shareholders who want to sell will want to up the premium before they'll approve of the deal. If the Saudis are still interested in this deal, I think they'd want to hurry it up. Obviously they wouldn't be interested if they didn't think that value of Tesla was going to increase. If they believe that Q3 and Q4 will be profitable, then of course the stock will go up making it more and more expensive for them the longer they wait. What I'm wondering is, why didn't Tesla invest in Lucid before the Saudis? It seems it would have been a good idea for them to buy half of Lucid, then help them out somehow. Maybe sell them batteries and self driving software. The saudis can't really help them at all other than provide them with cash. Tesla can provide them with technology, they can charge licensing fees, and they can profit from their success. I suppose they don't have the money to do this right now.

  23. Well, why doesn't Apple start manufacturing it's products in the US? Shouldn't the iPhone say, "Made In U.S.A" on it? Apple can't be that stupid that they don't realize that this is the whole point of the tariffs.

Really? “People who have recovered from COVID-19 tend to score significantly lower on an intelligence test compared to those who have not contracted the virus, according to new research published in The Lancet journal Clinical Medicine.

  34. Lack of disclosure? Are you insane? If anything he's been disclosing way too much. Do you believe it should be illegal to be open about your thoughts when you are a CEO? Would everyone be happier if he kept everything secret until it was done? Why should a CEO not be allowed to be open what they are thinking about?

  38.  @BillBrasky368 , Gave in to what? Smart people were waiting for the vaccines. Smart people followed the science. Smart people understand how the vaccines work. Smart people understand numbers. Smart people understand that 1% is a LOT more people than 1 in a million. Smart people understand that the fatality rate is not the only number that matters. So smart people wore masks, and then got vaccinated as soon as the vaccines were available. And there are smart people on both sides of the political spectrum. Trump got vaccinated. Apparently he’s smarter than a large portion of his supporters, but there are many ignore ant antivaxxer on the left too.

But what about those who are not hospitalized? “People who have recovered from COVID-19 tend to score significantly lower on an intelligence test compared to those who have not contracted the virus, according to new research published in The Lancet journal Clinical Medicine.

  47. Why does it even matter if it's true or not when all he said is, "I'm considering". He never said he's is or isn't going to. Just that he's considering it. If he decides not to do it, then who cares if the funding was secured or not? It only matters if he actually decides to follow through with it.

  50. Finally someone who understands that he only needs to fund 9% of the company to go private under the terms that Musk described in his tweet. The actual amount if shareholders want to sell 30% of the shares is $11 billion, and for if they want to sell 25% of the shares it's $6.8 billion.
