> To be clear, when I made the public announcement, just as with this blog post and all other discussions I have had on this topic, I am speaking for myself as a potential bidder for Tesla.

Elon Musk sent an e-mail to all his employees on August 7th, and published the e-mail to the world. In the e-mail he made a number of quite worrying statements as the CEO of the company and some outlandish claims. One week later on August 13th, Elon Musk rips off his mask and cackles manically: Behold! It was me all along! Not the mild mannered CEO of your heart, but I have been secretly talking as a potential bidder for your company! Moohahaha.
