Tesla To Remain Public – At Least for Now

By Rick Roman - 28 Aug 2018 826 0 comment

Tesla now says it will remain a publicly traded company. A couple of weeks ago, creative genius Elon Musk stuck his foot in his mouth, or rather, stuck his foot on his twitter keypad when he announced that Tesla was considering going private. At that point the company was forced to at least look like they were considering it in order to protect their leader. So it is no surprise that this weekend it announced it will remain public, at least for now. But Elon is not out of the woods yet as the SEC is still investigating.

We are happy with the reversal because Tesla is a customer favorite and once a company goes private, you can no longer get shares. Just a reminder for those who want one share of this ground-breaking company with an iconic but slightly unstable leader, you can buy Tesla here.
