A long list of investors publicly denied any talks with Tesla. All potential banks expressed puzzlement with the tweet as well. One of them would absolutely have to be involved for a deal of this size and none were.

Reporters asked everyone and found 0 evidence.

Did they ask the Saudi crown?

Yes they did.

PIF, the sovereign fund, stated that they had no intention to go beyond their initial 5% investment.

Last week they invested $1b in a Tesla rival, Lucid.
