| Lawyers Burnish Tesla’s Deal for SolarCity | -17 | 2016-09-03 00:00:00 | Advertisement Continue reading the main storyNot only did the SolarCity lawyers focus the decision-making on the special committee, they even negotiated for bells and whistles. The Tesla lawyers also tried to highly script the process through multiple meetings. And there was vigorous negotiation of the deal price — at least on paper. But one could also see how Mr. Musk might be a bit headstrong about being excluded. Now it’s up to Tesla’s shareholders, because in spite of the pretty process, SolarCity does not have anywhere else to go. | TSLA | {"Steven Davidoff Solomon","Deal Professor"} | 54 |
| Tesla Falls After Cash Needs Exposed by SolarCity Merger Filing | -12 | 2016-09-01 00:00:00 | ‘Material Issue’The preliminary proxy for the all-stock SolarCity acquisition showed the cash burn that Tesla would have to manage. It earlier dropped as much as 5.4 percent, the biggest intraday drop since the 11 percent plunge on June 22, the first trading day after the SolarCity acquisition announcement. Wednesday’s filing showed that there were no other bidders with a real offer and that the SolarCity is having trouble raising cash. “We were offered SolarCity bonds and passed and we’ve sold 40 percent of our Tesla holdings in recent months. If the proposed combination falls apart, SolarCity, with $3.35 billion in debt, may struggle to survive. | TSLA | {"David Welch Dana Hull","Dana Hull","David Welch"} | 55 |

| Elon Musk vs. the Trolls | -28 | 2016-11-22 00:00:00 | During the lobbying fight, a website called Who Is Elon Musk? On Sept. 2 the conservative web magazine the Federalist published an article titled “Elon Musk Continues to Blow Up Taxpayer Money With Falcon 9.” The author was identified as Shepard Stewart. Two days earlier, the Stewart byline appeared on a piece on the Libertarian Republic website called “Here’s How Elon Musk Stole $5 Billion in Taxpayer Dollars.” Two days before that, the Liberty Conservative site carried a Stewart article headlined “Elon Musk: Faux Free Marketeer and National Disgrace.”Funny thing, though: Shepard Stewart isn’t a real person. A similar website called Stop Elon From Failing Again lists its sponsor as a conservative advocacy group called Citizens for the Republic. “People tell me I shouldn’t talk about the fake rockets,” he says, “because it makes me sound crazy.”The bottom line: Elon Musk attracts a wide array of real and fake online antagonists criticizing his work on electric cars, rockets, and solar panels. | TSLA | {"Paul Barrett","More Stories Paul Barrett"} | 1042 |

Tesla and SolarCity shareholders on Thursday overwhelmingly approved Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity in a stock transaction, valued at about $2 billion, that is designed to create one-stop shopping for homeowners’ power generation, energy storage and electric vehicles. But the billionaire investor, who is chairman and the largest shareholder in Tesla and SolarCity, brushed concerns aside. “I don’t think Musk’s vision is dependent on federal policy. | TSLA | {"Ivan Penn"} | 1043 |
| Tesla bail out SolarCity merger | -8 | 2016-10-16 00:00:00 | I don't know if Tesla can call off the SolarCity deal before it's too late. The Master PlanFor Musk, SolarCity is a critical piece of his Master Plan to accelerate humanity's departure from the fossil-fuels era, debt be damned. But they haven't come anywhere near what Tesla will be coughing up for the right to inhale SolarCity. It's market cap is worth less than its debt, and Tesla is paying a half a billion premium to assume those liabilities. But where Tesla and SpaceX are concerned, now isn't the time for the art of the possible. | TSLA | {"Matthew Debord"} | 1256 |
