In that case, the company about the production of electric vehicles will cost him $ 85 billion (including debts), calculated Axios.
The publication also draws attention to the fact that Musk's tweet appeared immediately after the Financial Times reported that the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund acquired a few percent stake in Tesla, paying about $ 2 billion for it.
After Musk's tweet, the company's shares jumped from $355 to $370, after which there was a slight correction: investors suspected that Musk was joking, and Tesla did not officially explain the situation. At the time of publication of the news, the company's securities cost 6% higher than the previous day's close.
Musk now owns about 20% of Tesla shares.
According to Axios, the big question is how the US regulator SEC, which restricts the dissemination of significant information about public companies, will react to Musk's tweet. However, all this may turn out to be a joke: Musk continues to answer questions on Twitter with only the number “420” - this is something of a code word in the culture of marijuana lovers.
By the way, on April 1, Musk already joked on Twitter about the bankruptcy of Tesla.
