@EinSV I read your post, and I think that we're probably seeing the problem differently. Perhaps you're seeing the problem as shortsellers (inc. FUD, media, SEC, etc). And thus, going private would mitigate the impact of those forces against Tesla and help them toward their mission. That could be true, but it's also a terrible cost to leave out retail investors by going private.@DaveT, I do think the SEC's overreaching and Elon's reactions to it should be taken seriously.
I think the best solution is for Elon to reconsider his decision to keep Tesla as a public company, and to take Tesla private. More details here: Dear Elon: Please reconsider and take Tesla private
This time, since he already knows the views of shareholders he can do it in a controlled fashion and get all ducks in a row before publicly announcing the go-private deal.
Also, I personally see the problem very differently than you and others. I don't think the root problem is the shortsellers, FUD, media or SEC at all. It's internal and the problem can be addressed and solved.
