Elon tweeted:

"Thinking about taking Tesla private for $420 a share"

The RE thread is kind of amazing :

"- I work in market regulation and it might be securities fraud to tweet something like that.
- I don't understand, if he's telling the truth where's the fraud ?
- Well it could be market manipulation, announcing such a buyback price.
- I don't understand, if he's telling the truth where's the fraud ?
- You need to file a lot of SEC papers to go private before announcing anything. He might have done it but otherwise it's fraud.
- I don't understand, if he's telling the truth where's the fraud ?
- Former SEC chairman thinks it could be in violation and a securities fraud.
- I don't understand, if he's telling the truth where's the fraud ?
- Trading has been halted, obviously SEC has to look at something here.
- I don't understand, if he's telling the truth where's the fraud ?"

A truly Elon move would be for him to take the company private and liquidate a portion of his holdings at $420/share.

Honestly that's not how I took the discussion, but I'll admit not being charitable to Musk fans.

No one can say yet if it's legit or not. However it seems everyone agree that going private at the current price (or announced buyback price) investors would have to shell between 50 to 70 billions $ which apparently is pretty massive. If so, it warrants some of the skepticism about the potential existence of that secure funding.

Anyway, who knows ? Guess we'll learn soon enough.

Aside that whole debate, I think everyone can agree it was a rather rash move by Musk.

So with vague statements from some Tesla board members:  https://www.marketwatch.com/story/tesla-board-met-several-times-to-evaluate-ceo-musks-take-private-idea-2018-08-08, and a complete lack of evidence of any SEC filings..

It looks like Musk's "funding secured" comment was complete bullshit.

Over a billion dollars lost by short sellers yesterday, and they will most certainly bring suit against Musk and possibly Tesla themselves.

This really could fuck him.  Here's some analysis that seems to have been written before the board members commented:

Quote
Azealia Banks lit up the internet after claiming to be at Elon Musk's house for the weekend in her Instagram stories.

On Sunday, the rapper posted on Instagram: "I waited around all weekend while grimes coddled her boyfriend..." In another story, she wrote: "Staying in Elon musks house has been like a real like [sic] episode of 'Get Out'".

Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, is a singer and songwriter who has been dating Musk, the founder and CEO of Tesla since earlier this year.

When Business Insider reached out to Banks via Instagram DM, Banks shared further details. According to the rapper, she arrived to one of Musk's homes in Los Angeles early on Friday, August 10 and left the night of Sunday, August 12. An independent secondary source confirmed that Banks was at one of Musk's properties this weekend.

Over the course of the weekend, Banks claimed, the couple essentially went into hiding as Musk sought funding after tweeting about plans to take Tesla private last week. However, she claims, the couple kept stringing her along with the promise of collaborating on music.

"They bring me out there on the premise that we would hang and make music," Banks claimed via DM. "But his dumb--- kept tweeting and tucked his dick in between his a-- cheeks once s--- hit the fan."

Banks said Musk seemed distracted over the course of the weekend after tweeting his plans to take Tesla private last week and saying funding was "secured."

"I saw him in the kitchen tucking his tail in between his legs scrounging for investors to cover his a-- after that tweet," she said. "He was stressed and red in the face."

"He's not cute at all in person," Banks added.

Banks also claimed that she was not trying to eavesdrop, but Musk seemed to be scrambling.

On Monday, Musk said in a statement on Tesla's website that he used the phrase "funding secured" to indicate that he believes there was "no question" Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund would provide funding to convert Tesla into a private company.

The spokesperson referred questions about Tesla funding to the company, which declined to request for comment. Boucher also did not respond to a request for comment, and neither Musk nor Boucher responded to Banks' claims on social media.

Banks' Instagram story also caused a stir because she alluded to drug use and Twitter. Musk's spokesperson said such claims were "utter nonsense."

"I could run Tesla better than he does," Banks said of Musk on Monday to Business Insider.

"They're so pitiful," she added. "And it's honestly stupid of them to think another performative 'angry/crazy black girl hit piece' will do anything to bring me down."

Elon is trying to cash out of Tesla so he can get a top job at Space Force.

He knows he can't produce mass market cars because he doesn't fucking care.
He's Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark IRL not the head of Volkswagen.

Sounds like Grimes is getting her inheritance soon.

Quote
To help sleep when he is not working, Mr. Musk said he sometimes takes Ambien. “It is often a choice of no sleep or Ambien,” he said.

But this has worried some board members, who have noted that sometimes the drug does not put Mr. Musk to sleep but instead contributes to late-night Twitter sessions, according to a person familiar with the board’s thinking.
