埃隆·馬斯克就特斯拉的退市計劃披露了一些細節(jié)。上周一，他在博客中稱，沙特主權財富基金已就特斯拉私有化的問題與之接觸多次。

馬斯克還透露，700億美元的私有化價格嚴重夸大了實際融資需求，因為他預計現(xiàn)有投資者中將有三分之二變?yōu)樗接谐止扇恕?

雖然在馬斯克為特斯拉私有化進行的探索中，沙特基金是最顯眼而且最有可能的合作伙伴，但他說后者并不是唯一選擇。

馬斯克寫道：“我仍在和沙特基金進行商討，同時也在跟其他多位投資者磋商。一直以來我就是這么計劃的，因為我希望特斯拉仍有一個較大的投資者群體。”

馬斯克說他與沙特基金首次接觸是在2017年初，當時后者表示有意將持倉多元化。目前這只基金已經(jīng)持有特斯拉5%的股票。7月31日，雙方再次會面，沙特基金董事總經(jīng)理對馬斯克仍未讓特斯拉私有化“表示遺憾”，并稱將支持此項行動。

馬斯克稱：“7月31日的會面結束后，我堅信我們有望很快和沙特主權財富基金達成協(xié)議，只剩下程序推進的問題。正是出于這個原因，我才在8月7日的公告中說‘已獲得資金’?！?

他還說，上周發(fā)推特的原因是他覺得所有投資者都應該同時獲得同樣的信息。提出最終方案前他不會采取任何行動，而最終方案將說明資金的性質和來源。

這篇博客也許可以回答一些問題，但并非所有投資者都會滿意。已有一位投資者就上述推特公告起訴馬斯克，美國證券交易委員會（Securities and Exchange Commission）也開始調查馬斯克發(fā)布公告的過程。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

Elon Musk is offering a few more details about his proposal to delist Tesla from the stock market, saying in a blog post Monday that the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund has approached him several times about taking the automaker private.

Additionally, he said, the $70 billion price tag that has been floated as a potential price for such an action is wildly inflated, as he expects two-thirds of current investors would opt to roll over to a private ownership stake.

While the Saudi fund is the most visible and most likely partner in Musk’s explorations of taking Tesla private, he says it’s not the only one.

“I continue to have discussions with the Saudi fund, and I also am having discussions with a number of other investors, which is something that I always planned to do since I would like for Tesla to continue to have a broad investor base,” he wrote.

Musk and the Saudi fund first met in early 2017, he says, where the group expressed interest in diversifying its holdings. The group already holds a 5% stake in Tesla. On July 31, the two parties met again and the fund’s managing director “expressed regret” Musk had not moved to take the company private and again expressed his support for that action.

“I left the July 31st meeting with no question that a deal with the Saudi sovereign fund could be closed, and that it was just a matter of getting the process moving,” said Musk. “This is why I referred to ‘funding secured’ in the August 7th announcement.”

He posted last week’s tweet, he says, as he felt all investors should have the same information at the same time. No action will be taken until a final proposal is submitted, which will include the nature and source of the funding.

Musk’s post could answer some questions, but not all investors will be satisfied. One has already sued him for the tweet and Securites and Exchange Commission is looking into how the announcement was made as well.
