特斯拉宣佈放棄私有化 大多數股東支持大綱

Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk said last Friday that he is giving up on taking the company private in the wake of shareholders' objections.

特斯拉汽車公司首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克上週五表示，在遭到股東們的反對後，他將放棄將公司私有化。

In a post on the company's website, Musk said he had informed Tesla's board that "I believe the better path is for Tesla to remain public."

馬斯克在公司網站上發文稱，他已於日前告知特斯拉董事會，“我認爲對特斯拉來說更好的道路是繼續保持上市公司的狀態”。

Tesla directors released a statement last Friday night saying, "we fully support Elon as he continues to lead the company moving forward."

特斯拉董事會成員上週五晚間發表聲明稱：“我們完全支持埃隆繼續領導公司向前邁進”。

Musk said he made the decision to remain public after consulting Tesla shareholders large and small, and after concluding that the undertaking could impair efforts to boost production of its new sedan that are crucial to his strategy for Tesla.

馬斯克表示，在作出放棄讓公司私有化的決定之前，他徵求了特斯拉大大小小的股東的意見，此後得出的結論認爲私有化可能影響特斯拉爲增加新款轎車產量所做的努力。新款轎車對他制定的特斯拉戰略至關重要。

"I knew the process of going private would be challenging, but it's clear that it would be even more time-consuming and distracting than initially anticipated," Musk wrote.

馬斯克寫道：“我知道私有化過程將具有挑戰性，但很顯然，這比最初預計的要更耗時、更令人分心。”

"This is a problem because we absolutely must stay focused on ramping up the Model 3 and becoming profitable. We will not achieve our mission of advancing sustainable energy unless we are also financially sustainable."

“這是一個問題，因爲我們必須把重點放在增加Model 3的產量和實現盈利上。除非我們在財政上有可持續的資金來源，否則就無法實現自己推進可持續能源發展的使命。”
