> I promise you, Elon legitimately thought there would be an opportunity to go private again. According to the hard facts the SEC is presenting this is patently false, there was absolutely no reason for Musk to "legitimately" think that. > even has said they never wanted to go public, but were left with no choice. Also just not even close to true. Elon would have been canned and Tesla would have been bankrupt by now if they didn't go public. If by "left with no choice" means "structured the company so that only a public IPO could sustain it and allow for the path he wanted" then I guess you're right?
