Elon Musk 又發(fā)公開信了，在大多數(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)股東提出異議的情況下，Elon 最終決定放棄私有化，轉(zhuǎn)而專注于帶領(lǐng)特斯拉團(tuán)隊(duì)實(shí)現(xiàn)「加速世界向可持續(xù)能源的轉(zhuǎn)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(shí)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(dāng)前的投資者是否認(rèn)為，這是一個(gè)很好的戰(zhàn)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(shí)候開始，幾乎所有股東都與我們保持信心同步。當(dāng)時(shí)我們還沒有生產(chǎn)汽車，只有我們想達(dá)成的愿景。他們堅(jiān)信我們的使命是加速推動世界向可持續(xù)能源的轉(zhuǎn)變，并深切關(guān)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(yè)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(fā)。為私人交易提供資金。我還花了相當(dāng)多的時(shí)間聆聽現(xiàn)在的大小股東，了解他們認(rèn)為特斯拉最好的長遠(yuǎn)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(jìn)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(shù)現(xiàn)有股東都認(rèn)為我們作為上市公司會更好。此外，一些機(jī)構(gòu)股東表示，他們有內(nèi)部規(guī)定，限制他們可以投資私人公司的數(shù)量。如果我們私有化了，大多數(shù)散戶投資者也沒有經(jīng)過證明可以擁有股票的途徑。雖然與我交談的大多數(shù)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(tài)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(zhàn)性，但很明顯它會比最初預(yù)期的更耗費(fèi)時(shí)間和分散注意力。這是一個(gè)問題，因?yàn)槲覀兘^對必須專注于提升 Model 3 的產(chǎn)能和實(shí)現(xiàn)盈利。除非我們在財(cái)務(wù)上可持續(xù)，否則我們無法實(shí)現(xiàn)加速世界向可持續(xù)能源轉(zhuǎn)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(gè)過程中，我認(rèn)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(xù)上市對特斯拉是更好的一條發(fā)展路線。董事會也同意這一觀點(diǎn)。 

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(xù)關(guān)注最重要的事情：打造人們喜愛的產(chǎn)品，并改變我們共同生活的地球村的未來。我們已經(jīng)證明，我們可以生產(chǎn)出可持續(xù)發(fā)展的能源產(chǎn)品，現(xiàn)在我們需要證明我們可持續(xù)盈利。隨著我們在Model 3上取得的所有進(jìn)展，我們有能力做到這一點(diǎn)，這是我和特斯拉團(tuán)隊(duì)將把我們所有努力付諸實(shí)踐的目標(biāo)。 

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(xù)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)特斯拉成為一家上市公司。這是一種特權(quán)。
