Short seller....I don’t like to refer to them as “investors”. Not really investing... more like betting against the future of companies. Sad when the company is looking to enrich and help and people think that shorting it is good/acceptable.
They most likely have money tied up in other fuel/energy sources and are trying to protect daddies original investment. Young republicans with cowboy hats and jacked up ford 150s.
Change will come soon no worries :)
You like diesel? I was a truck driver for years. Dirty disgusting stuff.
Welcome back :)
Yeah and it will tow a semi up a hill
11 million shares @ 310
It’s all time hi is 389 without private talks. It will happen again :)
No one believes a word coming out of business insider
Meanwhile Tesla is making 6000 model 3s a week a deploying energy systems around the world.
Another hiccup brought to you by the shorts big bet against Tesla.
Yet another buying opportunity.
SEC will side with Tesla, he did nothing wrong, he had the funding at time of post.
Don’t invest money your not prepared to loose. Shorts are you ready to loose another 4 Billion?! LOL keep it coming!
Can’t stop Elon.
Go Tesla
Longs Hold!
We know the hits keep coming, they’ve been coming for ten years!
Longs make the money because Tesla is right, the shorts loose it.
Burn baby burn
Can’t wait for Elon to squash
The one he’s been waiting for!!
If you hold no position why are you waiting for it.
Who likes short shorts
Tesla upgraded by Tony Sarracucci(sp?)
This was one of the guys who wouldn’t believe a word out of Musk’s mouth at Q1 ER.
8,000 M3 per week within months?!
Holy shit, redo the math equations....
You should look carefully at the photos you’ll notice one thing about his before and after....... there not the same battery pack!
Fraud
Enron is a good company?
? You should really explain yourself before you loose credibility.
Enron was a disgusting corporate lobbying pit.
K. Lay Jr. thx for the post.
This is gonna hurt some peoples finances. Elon musk doesn’t give a shit about anyone/thing except:
1. His long shareholders
2. His companies vision.
He will grow to the size where the US Gov, the stock market, the shorts, the SEC, the whistleblowers,have little to say in any of this. He will pay his taxes in the US, enrich our country with his products, and he will do this, all over the world. He is about to outgrow the US
You think he gives a shit about the SEC guy? You think the sec guy gives a shit about a tweet? Do you know how many hundreds of ways the lawyers can get him out of any sort of punishment. The shorts are boned. If he goes private, which it looks like the stock market is now almost forcing him to, the shorts will be completely devastated, the longs most likely* bought out. Tesla will put its head down and get to work On plants around the world. He’s a few weeks away from the end of his struggle.This is the leader of innovation about to whiplash the stock market. What’s stoping him? The board of large players? They are on team Elon. They have unbridled support of him. Think about that.
If they can, they will go private.
Think about that.
Where do you want to be when the announcement is made?
I’m comfortable, are you?
Meanwhile model 3 production nearly 6000 per week
New energy set up in AUS
To Nebuchad
Yes Millennials are awful but don’t be an old man about it. Get to work and worry about yourself, not how the younger generations are going to make a living.
Market as a whole down today. Don’t be worried Longs. All these lawsuits aren’t going to mean much.
What’s more important, and has always been:
Model3 deliveries
Profitability
Energy storage ramp
This stock was 380$ before all this private talk, don’t forget it.
Shorts want their money back. Largest shorted stock. Everybody and their grandmother’s were shorting the stock, they have control of the media.
Wait for official Tesla statement.
Lol! Business insider. Nice. You know what other garbage business insider posts?
Goldman Sachs is on Tesla side:
Aka game over for the shorts
Get the cigars out longs
Go TSLA go!
When will the shorts cover? Clocks ticking, are they gonna risk it and wait out this process? Down with the ship aye aye captain!
I don’t know how they can afford to anymore. Burn after burn all the way up. You would think a -20% investment would scare these fools. No shame in shorting with other people’s money like Einhorn. What a rat hope he enjoys his short shorts!
Elon’s gonna plan your demise and it’s gonna feel soooooo good.
Desperation
Yah except Tesla is not making apps or silly gimmicks, they are changing the way the world moves.
Get that in your head!!
And don’t forget it!!
It means something!!
Think hard read slow.
Tesla/SpaceX/Boring/SolarCity will bring us into the future.
I agree it’s going to be interesting. I think the share cost would spike over the buyout price depending on the details we receive. If Goldman Sachs and partners make a good deal for shareholders & possibility of being brought with, it’s gonna skyrocket. If they can’t get around it, 415 seems like a good place for it to land.
Here comes the OPEN !!!
It’s called optimism and has lead to me making money investing in Tesla. Notice how the share price is 360 now, yet everyone said sell sell sell!
They were all wrong, because of the way they think! Are you saying my way of thinking is wrong? Please let me know I’ll consider what you say like I hope you consider what I say.
I’ll continue to hold and squeeze the shorts out, hold out for Elon’s deal, and perhaps, become a part of the largest transportation company in the world. If not, we’re at 6000 model 3 a week and closing in on profitability.
The cup is half full and the shorts are gonna top me off!
Go TSLA Longs
Who likes short shorts?
You should read more about how Elon feels about his shareholders. They were there for him when he needed them. He won’t just sweep them under the rug, he will do everything in his power to help them. He’s a compassionate human being. Everything he’s ever said or done has pointed to that. Look at his last post the one that everyone’s upset about. He said he didn’t think it was fair if only the large shareholders saw the private news, he wanted all shareholders to see it. I’m not guaranteeing this is how it will be, as you should also not be so certain.
Stuff happens, shit changes, it’s not the 90s anymore!
Read slow, don’t assume.
Stock for stock merger? Basically new shares within the company are created as the old shares are bought back and destroyed. The new shares could be issued for 0$ to who ever Tesla wants, in this case existing shareholders. Let me know why this won’t work if you know? Details and laws sited?
I’m sure the Goldman Sachs guys can figure something out to benefit their client.
Watch the saudis buy another huge chunk of tsla stock in the near future......
Your right! His lawyers do!
Mb in a standard way of going private.... yet Not everything Tesla does is the way that people did things in the past.
Read slowly
My proposal was based on using a structure where any existing shareholder who wished to remain as a shareholder in a private Tesla could do so, with the $420 per share buyout used only for shareholders that preferred that option.
Yeah and also we’ve all been hallucinating the top speed of the roadster! It’s not even real! And he didn’t put one in space! It was staged on a sound stage like buzz aldrin! Groovy! Musk isn’t an idiot. He’s a genius and an engineer. Have you ever heard him speak about the science behind his products and energy storage? I don’t give a shit what the kardashians say.
Get over it. Missed out on the gains, sorry.
Tesla rules
He made it up while on drugs?! Are you serious? The Saudis are involved. Are we all hallucinating this? Jesus these rocks are redonk.

Any thoughts?! How’s this for a thought, it’s going UP.
Read slowly:
Going back almost two years, the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund has approached me multiple times about taking Tesla private. They first met with me at the beginning of 2017 to express this interest because of the important need to diversify away from oil. They then held several additional meetings with me over the next year to reiterate this interest and to try to move forward with a going private transaction. Obviously, the Saudi sovereign fund has more than enough capital needed to execute on such a transaction.
Recently, after the Saudi fund bought almost 5% of Tesla stock through the public markets, they reached out to ask for another meeting. That meeting took place on July 31st. During the meeting, the Managing Director of the fund expressed regret that I had not moved forward previously on a going private transaction with them, and he strongly expressed his support for funding a going private transaction for Tesla at this time. I understood from him that no other decision makers were needed and that they were eager to proceed.
I left the July 31st meeting with no question that a deal with the Saudi sovereign fund could be closed, and that it was just a matter of getting the process moving. This is why I referred to “funding secured” in the August 7th announcement.
Following the August 7th announcement, I have continued to communicate with the Managing Director of the Saudi fund. He has expressed support for proceeding subject to financial and other due diligence and their internal review process for obtaining approvals. He has also asked for additional details on how the company would be taken private, including any required percentages and any regulatory requirements.
Another critical point to emphasize is that before anyone is asked to decide on going private, full details of the plan will be provided, including the proposed nature and source of the funding to be used. However, it would be premature to do so now. I continue to have discussions with the Saudi fund, and I also am having discussions with a number of other investors, which is something that I always planned to do since I would like for Tesla to continue to have a broad investor base. It is appropriate to complete those discussions before presenting a detailed proposal to an independent board committee.
It is also worth clarifying that most of the capital required for going private would be funded by equity rather than debt, meaning that this would not be like a standard leveraged buyout structure commonly used when companies are taken private. I do not think it would be wise to burden Tesla with significantly increased debt.
Therefore, reports that more than $70B would be needed to take Tesla private dramatically overstate the actual capital raise needed. The $420 buyout price would only be used for Tesla shareholders who do not remain with our company if it is private. My best estimate right now is that approximately two-thirds of shares owned by all current investors would roll over into a private Tesla.
The Saudis want it. It’s secured and looks like it has been for quite some time.
They are awaiting Tesla to approve. Get over it. The Saudis just bought 5% of the company.....do you think that was just a day trade?
He has funding for the buyout,get over it. He needs less than 2/3rds of the let’s say 80Billion because everyone would stay private that is invested already. The outstanding shares that are not by the big investors are slim Pickens aka the Longs. Just watch the volumes through the day.
Hah. Elon harmed you? How could he have harmed you when the stock has done nothing but go up?
Wrong. Just because people come up to your company to invest and offer more, that is just one more reason why musk held on and probably realized the true valuation of the company that he started. Nothing was signed and nothing was set in stone because all of this still comes down to a shareholder vote. You cast such a negative crooked picture of Elon musk yet you have no real argument on why he is a crook.
I don’t think it would be discussed openly by the Saudis before every detail is out. This is the buyout of the decade/century. They’re not gonna jump the gun
Yes. I’m hoping today @ 1PM new 52week hi. That will be it for the shorts.
I want 389.99
Saudis, seems like he had it lined up before aug 7th, and has made contact with Saudis after and plan can still be reached. Elon lawsuits out the window.
Stocks up.
Go tsla
