Replying to @elonmusk and @Tesla
Elon please make sure that all the retail investors in $TSLA who are your huge supporters have an ability to invest in $TSLAP in their Roth IRAs as well as brokerage taxable accounts. Most retirement accounts and many brokerages don’t allow investing in private equity Thanks

Update on Taking Tesla Private

Apologies if this was posted before. It is a Tesla blog post written by EM. I think you can see the influence of his legal and financial consultants (mentioned on Twitter) in this post.

That is a lot of lawyers who don't think Elon is going to jail.

Right
Elon going to jail is a delusional fantasy created by $TSLA short sellers in their twilight zone attempts at keeping SP down
well tomorrow we start the much anticipated short squeeze of the century

You look too young to remember the M&A mania in the 80's and 90's. About half fell through. But the investment bankers and lawyers made huge fortunes. Firms were scooping up top MBA grads like crazy. This is like "deja vu" for us older guys. The beauty for them is they get paid no matter what happens.

These are literally the best of best. You'd be hard pressed to put together a better team. No way these firms would take this up if it wasn't the real deal.

Dell is looking to go public because he made a leveraged bet on acquring EMC that hinged on a tax law change that didn't materialize. Now he's sitting a ton of debt he can't deduct. Whoops.

Very different situation than with Tesla.

Elon Musk’s Tweet on Taking Tesla Private Surprised Even Its Board

But three people familiar with the workings of the Saudi fund cast doubt on his account. They said the fund had taken none of the steps that such an ambitious transaction would entail, like preparing a term sheet or hiring a financial adviser to work on the deal.

And even if the fund were ready to move forward with such an agreement, it would invite review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, the government body that reviews the national-security implications of such transactions.

...

Two people familiar with the chain of events said that in a conversation with an informal adviser about the mess he had gotten himself into, Mr. Musk said he had taken to Twitter impulsively. He said he had done so because he was not the kind of person who could hold things in, and was angry at the company’s critics.

A person with direct knowledge of the Tesla board’s thinking said some members of the board had been totally blindsided by Mr. Musk’s decision to air his plan on Twitter.

They are certainly the most expensive.

Just How Much Does Wachtell Charge Clients Anyway?

It's also worth pointing out that the Munger in "Munger, Tolles & Olson" is (was) Charlie Munger, who went on to become the number 2 at Berkshire Hathaway.

$TSLA this is an hourly chart of a stock ready to gap up big time tomorrow and make a run for it with a super strong bollinger breakout It’s coming most likely tomorrow
$Tsla the only question is $400 tomorrow or the day after

The zip ties have been on the upper control arm mass since day one. Overall the upper control arms are really odd from the design to how they are made with stamped steel and injection over molding. Would really like to talk to the engineers who designed it and ask why. lol

On Elon going to jail and all that. You can crash the entire US economy and not go to jail, or take billions from drug lords (HSBC). I honestly couldn't care less even if somehow the SEC found some wrong doing, it would be a fine. whoop dee doo. I care about the likelihood of the deal, full stop.

New York Times...
[Unsubstantiated rumor and innuendo removed]

Meanwhile, in the real world where the best of the best get things done, Elon has put together a team that could move financial mountains. Odds of this not going through now with that team behind him is close to 0.
