On August 7, 2018, Tesla's Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk stated via Twitter: "Am considering taking Tesla private at $420.  Funding secured."  On August 8 and August 9, 2018, media outlets reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had made inquiries into Musk's announcement and whether, in fact, he had "funding secured" to take Tesla private.  On this news, Tesla's stock price fell $27.12 per share, or more than 7%, over the following two trading sessions, closing at $352.45 on August 9, 2018. 

On August 13, 2018, post-market, Musk stated via Twitter: "I'm excited to work with Silver Lake and Goldman Sachs as financial advisers, plus Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Munger, Tolles & Olson as legal advisors, on the proposal to take Tesla private."  Then, on August 14, 2018, Bloomberg reported that at the time of Musk's August 13, 2018 Twitter announcement, neither Goldman Sachs nor Silver Lake were yet working with Musk pursuant to a signed agreement or in an official capacity.  On this news, Tesla's stock price fell $8.77 per share, or nearly 2.5%, to close at $347.64 per share on August 14, 2018.
