I am a shareholder. I will not be selling after going private. This is really good for me because we can finally stick it to the shorts and the only people who we lose are "traders" - I don't care about what they think. Long term investors only is a good motto :)

If Elon's tweet is motivated by a desire to stick it to the shorts, and he does not in fact have funding lined up to take Tesla public, he could (probably would) face a massive stock manipulation lawsuit that would bankrupt him, in addition to any SEC settlements which would likely result in him being banned from holding an executive or board position in any publicly traded company.

How do you know he doesn't have funding lined up? Usually, if Musk says something like this it's true. (And don't start with he has a history of underestimating deadlines etc., this is totally different)
