Yasir has tried to call me several times today, but I will not take the call or agree to a meeting unless he takes action to correct the public record. There is no question that PIF said they were was all-in for a Tesla take-private when we met two weeks ago and I clarified whether Yasir was the decision-maker and he said yes unequivocally and, moreover, that this was fully backed by the crown Prince.
