* 1) Being a publicly traded company can be a "major distraction",
* 2) it subjects the company to the quarterly earnings cycle, thereby compromising long-term strategy, and, finally,
* 3) As Tesla is the most shorted stock of all time, being public makes them a target of attack.

Reminds me of what he said to SpaceX employees about going public

Why go Private?https://www.investopedia.com/news/what-if-tesla-goes-private/
* "An acquisition can create significant financial gain for shareholders and CEOs, while the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements private companies face can free up time and money to focus on long-term goals."
*

What if?
* 1) Shareholders would have the option to stay investors, or to be bought out at $420 per share, a 20% premium over Q2 earnings.
* 2) All Tesla employees would remain shareholders, with the right and ability to sell shares and exercise their options.
* 3) Tesla and SpaceX would remain separate entities, but Tesla's structure would look very similar to that of SpaceX, and shareholders and employee shareholders would have the option to buy or sell stock every six months.
* 4) Musk's stake in the company would remain pretty much the same. He owns 20% now, and that would remain pretty much the same after this move.
