I think many of you guys are missing the forrest from the trees here. He tanked his Tesla shares to do this deal & to no small part due to Bill Gates. I am sure this express more of his nervousness on just how much more expensive this deal was becoming as it was costing him a lot more than the list price due to him not taking into account how his other investors in his other companies would take the news.

He's a smart idiot to put it kindly and a very lucky one at that despite all of his sincere and actual efforts.

I don't agree with the Bill gates part but you are fundamentally right.

Elon signed this deal before the biggest stock market crash for about 15 years. The deal is extremely expensive for him right now in terms of tesla shares.

He is just buying time and hoping tesla shares increase in the meantime.

He KNOWS he HAS to complete this deal legally.

That's it. It's not complicated.

What you are saying doesn't even make any sense. He tanked his Tesla shares and it's partly because of Bill Gates? Makes no sense.
