So the SEC is intent on forcing Musk to take it private. He'll do it.
It is not going to be easy to do without a full tender, which would require a TON of debt, which he won’t get. Normal people cannot hold private securities like that.
Look at the money he will save. Instead of $420 a share, he can pick it up on the open market at around $270 a share.
Are you going to loan him the money for the deal? And what about the convertible debt that’s coming due in a few months. Better throw in some extra cash for that. And some more extra cash for the defamation actions.
