If the Saudis do help Elon Musk take Tesla private, the company could actually take over the world

Commerce Sec Wilbur Ross says Vision 2030 could be bigger for Saudis than discovery of oil
Saudi Vision 2030 - Wikipedia


This is a big development not only for Tesla but also for Saudi Arabia. The Saudis already have a target date of shifting their economy from completely oil to a more tech-based. If they help take Tesla private, they will have a major foothold in that area as well and will boost their efforts considerably. When oil stops being a major energy producer, the Saudis will be in a position to take over the region as well as influence a lot of large muslim populated countries.

This is not a bad thing. However, it is a major development and certainly a harbinger to how the world's economy will move in the near future.

Yep, realized it's better to not have thousands of shareholders to answer to when you can finesse a handful of Saudis more interested in Wall Street stunting than sound investments.
Tesla isn’t a sound investment?

His house of cards will eventually fall.

:yeshrug: This is the same thing Amazon did. Fake it for 10 years until you price out all the competition, then drop the hammer on buyers and sellers.

Problem with Musk is he can't keep his mouth shut. He's too worried about trying to look like Tony Stark

Tesla has plenty of competition though. The company hasn’t made money ever and it bleeds cash. The price is supported by hype.

This dude is running a scam. Don't forget the government bailout he took to keep him afloat.

Tesla to start turning a profit this year: Analyst

Amazon was founded in 1994, went public in 1997, didn't start posting profits until 2004, didn't post consistently meaningful profits until 2007.

And that was nothing but a sales website.

Especially when you're talking about something that requires as much serious R&D as a technologically advanced car manufacturer, I don't see taking a few years to turn profits as any evidence of a "scam."
