I hope Tesla goes private by the Saudis buying 69% of the stock at $420.

that was posted to a verified twitter account run by the Saudi government yesterday. the national press has covered it. they deleted the tweet and reposted it without the airplane aimed at downtown toronto.

i’m noticing a pattern with musk. he makes a statement that ought to be illegal, but he puts a joke in it, therefore if and when he is arrested he’ll just roll his eyes and all his followers will think the SEC is a bunch of humourless idiots

it’s called a trial balloon, trump does it too

I don't doubt the sincerity of their post-oil plans but I don't think they're likely to succeed, especially not if the plans (in part) consist of buying Tesla

On the bright side, it's good they didn't try to deliver the car if they found problems.

somewhere inside tesla:
"uh, guys, we're up to a 15% reject rate on initial deliveries. we should really double-check that all of the seats are in the car before we give the customer the keys, ya know?"
