Elon Musk says going private is the “best path forward” for Tesla. He stunned investors on Tuesday with a tweet saying he had already lined up funding, and he told employees that it would relieve the company of the “enormous pressure” of Wall Street’s expectations. “As a public company, we are subject to wild swings in our stock price that can be a major distraction for everyone working at Tesla, all of whom are shareholders,” Musk wrote in a letter that was made public by the company.
