NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) is investigating Tesla, Inc. ("Tesla" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TSLA) concerning potential securities law violations. Investors who purchased Tesla securities may be affected.
On Tuesday, August 7, 2018, Elon Musk ("Musk"), Chairman, CEO and Founder of Tesla, issued a statement on Twitter that he intends to take Tesla private. Specifically, Musk tweeted the following:
"Am Considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured."

The next day, August 8, 2018, reports began to emerge that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was inquiring about Musk's tweet. By August 9, 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported that the SEC "has asked Musk to produce proof that he's secured funding. . . ."
On August 8, 2018, following the first reports that Musk's statement "[f]unding secured" was under investigation, Tesla's shares fell $9.23 per share, or 2.4%, to close at $370.34 per share on August 8, 2018.
