    It looks to me as thought Elon Musk has gone all in on this one. He is in for an additional $500 million worth of stock in addition to his current multibillion dollar holding. Personally, I cannot see how this company can remain public in the longer term. Is this a short-term solution so they can achieve their long-term goals off market?

    I see he is in court soon facing a defamation suit for $75k from a British diver. He seems to be spending more and more time in court just lately - hope its not impacting his loyalty to the Tesla cause :)

    At a time when Tesla desperately needs the innovation of Elon Musk here spending far too much time in court fighting his own personal battles. Nero is fiddling while Rome burns around him!

    I am afraid the Elon Musk is going to need to pull a massive rabbit out of the hat to save Tesla. It is all good and well saying that shares move up and down but the ongoing collapse does nothing for the company's reputation. Also, it would appear that at least one prominent long term shareholder has sold circa 80% of his holding from year end 2018 - millions of shares.

    Is the shine finally coming off the teflon kid Elon Musk? He has been dragged to the courts by the SEC - twice - and a British diver looking for compensation. It would appear that nobody is untouchable!

    Elon Musk must have taken a massive paper hit to his wealth! Tesla is heading sub $200!

    Do you not think that sometimes it is difficult, if not impossible, to get back the trust a company once had with the market once it has gone?

    Is it just me or are you starting to feel sorry for Elon Musk?

    He has brought a lot of grief on himself but with Tesla he seems to get hung out to dry when things are going wrong but locked up and kept quiet when things are going well. He cant win!
