A key point buried in the article:
"Securities lawyers said U.S. law requires executives and companies to have a “reasonable basis” on which to make statements, meaning the fact Musk said he believed he had secured a verbal agreement for the funding after the July 31 meeting could put him on a firmer footing with the SEC."

Also, the fact that a couple of hours ago Elon tweeted a list of heavy-hitters who are advising him on the buyout deal suggests that the Saudis are quite likely 100% in on the deal.
 
I don't know if it's true, single source so far, and can't find it at the Reutors, which supposedly produced this info. However, it got picked by Yahoo finance, so it's likely to create some confusion today, even if it's not true:
Silver Lake Denies Talking to Tesla: Reuters

Whoever the supposed source is probably meant Silver Lake isn't discussing investing themselves. Or maybe they said they aren't talking to Tesla because they're talking to Elon, not Tesla.

And I wouldn't trust Reuters if they're saying Silver Lake isn't interested in investing - they also said the Saudis aren't interested.
 
Here's my bonehead question: are you exited to have Goldman Sachs with a price target of 195 USD on board?
It is the same GS which had 1mln shares in Tesla, and reportedly was the intermediary which accumulates 2bln+ worth of shares for PIF.
What they say others should do and what they do themselves are very different things. How stupid anybody can be not to understand that everything you hear on TV is said with a reason. And this reason is not to make you rich. It's to make you to do things which will make them rich.
Musk has GS on board because of their experience in MBOs and most importantly because they have amazing contacts in legal world.
