Elon Musk 又發公開信了，在大多數機構股東提出異議的情況下，Elon 最終決定放棄私有化，轉而專注于帶領特斯拉團隊實現「加速世界向可持續能源的轉變」這一公司使命。

以下為一鏡未剪的公開信全文： 

Earlier this month, I announced that I wasconsidering taking Tesla private. As part of the process, it was important tounderstand whether our current investors believed this would be a goodstrategic move and whether they would want to participate in a private Tesla.

本月早些時候，我宣布我正考慮將特斯拉私有化。作為私有化的一部分，非常重要的是要了解我們當前的投資者是否認為，這是一個很好的戰略舉措，以及他們是否想要參與私人特斯拉。 

Our investors are extremely important tome. Almost all have stuck with us from the time we went public in 2010 when wehad no cars in production and only a vision of what we wanted to be. Theybelieve strongly in our mission to advance sustainable energy and care deeplyabout our success. 

我們的投資者對我非常重要。從我們 2010 年上市的時候開始，幾乎所有股東都與我們保持信心同步。當時我們還沒有生產汽車，只有我們想達成的愿景。他們堅信我們的使命是加速推動世界向可持續能源的轉變，并深切關注我們的成功。 

I worked with Silver Lake, Goldman Sachsand Morgan Stanley, who have world-class expertise in these matters, toconsider the many factors that would come into play in taking Tesla private,and to process all the incoming interest that we received from investors tofund a go-private transaction. I also spent considerable time listening tocurrent shareholders, large and small, to understand what they think would bein the best long-term interests of Tesla. 

我與 Silver Lake、GoldmanSachs 和摩根士丹利做了一些溝通，他們在這些問題上擁有世界級的專業知識，考慮將特斯拉私有化的各種因素，并處理我們從投資者那里得到的所有先發。為私人交易提供資金。我還花了相當多的時間聆聽現在的大小股東，了解他們認為特斯拉最好的長遠利益。 

Based on all the discussions that havetaken place over the last couple of weeks and a thorough consideration of whatis best for the company, a few things are clear to me: 

基于過去幾周所進行的所有討論以及對公司最佳利益的全面考慮，我可以清楚地了解到一些事情： 

• Given the feedback I’ve received, it’sapparent that most of Tesla’s existing shareholders believe we are better offas a public company. Additionally, a number of institutional shareholders haveexplained that they have internal compliance issues that limit how much theycan invest in a private company. There is also no proven path for most retailinvestors to own shares if we were private. Although the majority ofshareholders I spoke to said they would remain with Tesla if we went private,the sentiment, in a nutshell, was “please don’t do this.” 

• 鑒于我收到的反饋，很明顯，特斯拉的大多數現有股東都認為我們作為上市公司會更好。此外，一些機構股東表示，他們有內部規定，限制他們可以投資私人公司的數量。如果我們私有化了，大多數散戶投資者也沒有經過證明可以擁有股票的途徑。雖然與我交談的大多數股東表示，如果我們私有化，他們會留在特斯拉，但簡而言之，他們的態度是“請不要這樣做”。 

• I knew the process of going private wouldbe challenging, but it’s clear that it would be even more time-consuming anddistracting than initially anticipated. This is a problem because we absolutelymust stay focused on ramping Model 3 and becoming profitable. We will notachieve our mission of advancing sustainable energy unless we are alsofinancially sustainable. 

• 我知道私有化的過程會很有挑戰性，但很明顯它會比最初預期的更耗費時間和分散注意力。這是一個問題，因為我們絕對必須專注于提升 Model 3 的產能和實現盈利。除非我們在財務上可持續，否則我們無法實現加速世界向可持續能源轉變的使命。 

• That said, my belief that there is morethan enough funding to take Tesla private was reinforced during this process. 

• 也就是說，在這個過程中，我認為有足夠的資金來讓特斯拉私有化。 

After considering all of these factors, Imet with Tesla’s Board of Directors yesterday and let them know that I believethe better path is for Tesla to remain public. The Board indicated that theyagree. 

在考慮了所有這些因素之后，我昨天會見了特斯拉董事會，讓他們知悉我相信繼續上市對特斯拉是更好的一條發展路線。董事會也同意這一觀點。 

Moving forward, we will continue to focuson what matters most: building products that people love and that make adifference to the shared future of life on Earth. We’ve shown that we can makegreat sustainable energy products, and we now need to show that we can besustainably profitable. With all the progress we’ve made on Model 3, we’repositioned to do this, and that’s what the team and I are going to be puttingall of our efforts toward. 

展望未來，我們將繼續關注最重要的事情：打造人們喜愛的產品，并改變我們共同生活的地球村的未來。我們已經證明，我們可以生產出可持續發展的能源產品，現在我們需要證明我們可持續盈利。隨著我們在Model 3上取得的所有進展，我們有能力做到這一點，這是我和特斯拉團隊將把我們所有努力付諸實踐的目標。 

Thank you to all of our investors,customers and employees for the support you’ve given our company. I’mincredibly excited to continue leading Tesla as a public company. It is aprivilege. 

感謝所有投資者，客戶和員工對特斯拉的支持。我非常高興繼續領導特斯拉成為一家上市公司。這是一種特權。
