mr. westly, to put it mildly, seems the tweets about going private were half baked at best.think it is a real possibility? >> look, as i said before i don't think trying to run your company or for that matter the company by twitter is a smart thing to do. having said that, mr. musk has a unique relationship directly with the customer base, part of what makes him successful. i like to see public companies i like to see that because there's more transparency for the investor, more corporation for governments. i understand what mr. musk is thinking it is hard to hit aggressive manufacturing schedules and still have to worry about short sellers and public markets he is thinking if he could take the company private, his hands would be untied to continue to pursue bigger bets like he did by creating the giga factory which has given tesla a huge cost advantage over other auto companies in the auto industry i think he has built the dominant auto brand in the world. if he wants funding to go private, it will probably be there. but that will be up to the board to decide. >> gentlemen,
