That's why. Filing 424: secondary offerings to the public market.

There's $2,000,000,000 right there raised through the public market.

There's 300-million or so.

There's another $2,000,000,000 raised.

Companies go public to raise money. Elon Musk wanted to spend $5 Billion on a Gigafactory. How else was he going to get the money?
