About this email

On the day of the 'funding secured' tweet, Musk sends a one-word reply to longtime investor Ron Baron on a chain in which Baron had told colleagues a buyout would be 'a terrible result for us ... unless we were included in the buying group'.

Notes

The exhibit shows Musk's reply atop an internal Baron Funds chain (Jodi Montgomery: 'SAUDI SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND IS SAID TO BUILD $2B TESLA STAKE:FT'; Jamie Stone relaying the tweet; Ron Baron: 'That would be a terrible result for us ... unless we were included in the buying group, of course.'). Baron's direct message to Musk, if any, was not visible in the transcription retrieved.
