buy the whole company back and make tesla private again says c.e.o. elon musk in a tweets that sends the electric price up eleven percent and leaves analysts shaking their heads. and more trouble in the air for ryanair as its european pilots go on strike over pay and working conditions at europe's biggest budget airline flight cancellations will affect twenty five thousand passengers on friday . i've been physical and let's do business chief executive ilan musk wants to take the electric car maker private. by eleven percent on the news before trading was hold and for more than an hour on tuesday or wednesday the board of directors said it's going to evaluate the plan. if musk can

succeed in taking tesla private it would be the largest leveraged buyout in history . lask tweeted on tuesday that he was considering taking tesla private at four hundred twenty dollars a share saying that he'd secured funding ideal at that price would represent a price tag of about seventy two billion dollars he didn't say where the funding was coming from shortly after his tweet musk published a letter to tesla employees on the company's blog where he said that going private would be the best path forward and would allow tesla to operate at its best free from distraction and short term thinking going private would also be one way to avoid close scrutiny by the public market has feuded publicly with regulators critics short sellers and reporters some analysts believe he would prefer to have less transparency the company is still trying to overcome production challenges which have held up its new model three sedan on which tesla's profitability rests that hasn't stopped musk from announcing major projects like multibillion dollar

facilities in china and europe analysts have expressed skepticism at those plans must statements about taking the company private are facing similar doubts but if followed through this could be a make or break moment for the silicon valley company as competition from european automakers is poised to intensify with new electric vehicles from our d. and jack you are with more rivals to follow suit next year. i asked. if it's right musk revealed sensitive corporate strategy via social media. twitter is relatively new in this context of course rules and regulations of how to make these ad hoc announcements or so it's very important but it seems to be legal i want to reach something to you from those rules on fair disclosure as they're called and it states that companies are required and i quote to distribute material information in a manner receipt reasonably designed to get that information out to the general

public broadly and not exclusively and. that is of course precisely what twitter does it is certainly brought it is not at all exclusive anybody analysts investors anyone can have it so there you go it seems to be really doing it so it's transparent but is that spot it's probably not smart and i would think it's probably not smart specifically when you look at the long must because you don't musk is a serial tweeter like some other people these days making the news are and he doesn't always take it seriously april fool's day this year he tweeted that test just went into bankruptcy now that is not really a joke when you're running a seventy billion dollar company that can really start shock waves and send the markets down not only for one company this is problematic you can't joke like that in such an irresponsible way as though of course people wondering with him specifically is this is a serious announcement is that show he names the number for twenty he wants to pay four hundred twenty dollars and people said well for twenty is the marianna

reference it's stolen language is that a joke is that code nobody really knows and now the company's worth even more because the surge of share is set up the market valuation of a company of course and it makes a muscular rich he made more than a billion dollars yesterday just like that because he owns about thirty three million shares and they went up thirty seven dollars each so he made a tremendous amount of money but it's just about the same amount of money that short sellers lost those investors that are betting against tesla they lost over a billion and they actually lost over six billion in the last two years iran must must be liking that much more than his own riches of course briefly wouldn't mean is it also quite a bit going private i know why the big car maker has done this. i'm sure there are lots of advantages as far as the law must and his strategy to feel a very ambitious man was he wanted to fly there he held accountable to shareholders

and regulator exactly well once you are listed on wall street your. not only accountable but you're accountable to your shareholders on a three month basis quarterly numbers so of course wall street favors short term thinking and that of course means that as a c.e.o. you might have to make decisions every once in a while that help your numbers in march and june or so but that are detrimental maybe to your long term strategy into your vision. you want to keep the vision alive thank you for. the new york times described him as arguably the most successful and important on for partner in the world became c.e.o. of just the motors in the aftermath of the two thousand and eight global financial crisis in an interview in twenty eleven he said he hopes to send humans to mars within ten to twenty years but who is it on musk and what does he really want one some have called him the architect of tomorrow others say he has a conman but either way ylem mosque is

a highly intelligent driven individual and the south african born under par new york has achieved things many can only dream about in one thousand nine hundred ninety four he founded his first company at the age of twenty four by the time he was thirty could become one of the co-founders of pay pal but musk is better known for his other headline grabbing projects tesla space x. and hyperloop with tesla musk is revolutionizing the car industry by building electric cars a business for which he has come under pressure the company has spent more than ten billion dollars without ever making a profit but that hasn't stopped musk he wants to change long distance travel with hyperloop b. idea is to send an electromagnetic lee levitated vehicle through a long pressure tube over thousands of miles. lift off his space x. project is aimed at sending the first people to mars it seems that not even the
