does it seem fair to $TSLA investors that they will (assuming Elon is not lying) let them either sell their stake at a ~20% premium or just give up on the scrutiny applied to public companies?

hobbesmaster posted:presumably thats why there'd be such a huge premium if it's the saudi wealth fund that's putting up the money to make this happen, musk may have found people with the patience (and possibly several other qualities) necessary to keep tesla going for his lifetime is there a term for this? despite the similarity it's not "failing upwards"

petrostate wealth fund is way way way beyond "gently caress you money", "gently caress this company money", or "gently caress this middling nation-state money". it's "gently caress the world money"

just spitballin' here but galaxy brain: SEC can't follow up on a whistleblower tip if company goes private?? https://www.washingtonpost.com/tech...ower-complaint/ Could be a good way to get rid of the (permanent) reputational risk to the tesla brand e: not like the SEC ever wants to follow up on those tips / they have recently changed policy to encourage ratting on smaller companies and discourage ratting on larger ones

on the one extreme, elon could be turned into An Example on the other extreme, the SEC could act exactly as useless as everyone suspects it is somewhere in the middle lies getting a slap on the wrist as elon makes bombastic statements about how great he, $TSLA and spacex are alas, option 3 is the most likely

if any of the problems surfaced so far are as significant as they seem they should 100% be engaged in trying to find partnerships (aka shop the various assets of $TSLA including the brand around) with other automakers; that's what a competent replacement for elon musk would do. if musk defines the mission of tesla as continuing on his nutso crusade (to defeat automakers and oil companies! by being a lovely automaker and taking saudi investment!) then indeed, there is no one who is both competent and committed to continue down that path; the two are mutually exclusive

Someone was whispering earlier that the school Musk opened was specifically for purposes of keeping his kids' developmental differences private. I personally am good with gossiping about and poo poo-talking the man but not poo poo-talking any sort of congenital developmental stuff.
