Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured.

A few expressed concerns for how this would impact retail investors. In fact, their interests seem to have been provided for:
My hope is *all* current investors remain with Tesla even if we’re private. Would create special purpose fund enabling anyone to stay with Tesla. Already do this with Fidelity’s SpaceX investment.

Either way, many would be glad to see the short sellers lose in excess of $12 billion1 – $1.3 billion on paper so far.2
