If its the Saudi government buying in then CFIUS will have something to say about this.
They normally weigh in on takeovers but this is in their jurisdiction as it would be a foreign entity taking on ownership of a US company.
If CFIUS allows this or not is definitively up for debate and probably a 50=50 call at this point.
At best you can say it would require some negotiation with Saudi Arabia at a time when things are great between the two countries.
- maehwasu 8y agoRelations between the US and Saudi Arabia are good enough right now that this actually might make the deal more likely, rather than less.
- xkjkls 8y ago(First, I don't see any really legitimate possibility that Saudi investment funds are going to pony up $40 billion to take Tesla private, that being said...) I don't see any possible reason why CFIUS would reject this deal. CFIUS deals with national security implications, of which Tesla is not relevant to.
