So, if Tesla actually properly goes "private", it would have to have fewer than 2000 stockholders.
I'm not OK with that.
If Tesla remains "public" in the sense of having to file SEC reports, but delists from the stock market and eliminates trading (only having liquidity like SpaceX), *that* I am totally OK with. This is also a *lot* easier to accomplish.
I am also starting to feel that what Elon has planned (really going private) might not work out - the article below explains the different possibilities pretty well and why they might not work, also for people without a serious financial background like me:
There’s a big problem with Elon Musk’s plan to take Tesla private
This leads me to believe that the delisting while staying public would be the more likely option, which if I get it right would meet Elon´s goal to get rid of short selling etc. but not of the need for quarterly reports.
