Recorded

Public post, 7 August 2018: taking Tesla private at $420

“Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured.” Later testimony: 20% premium rounded up; “420 was not chosen because of a joke.”

Sworn · 23 January 2023

There is some karma around 420, although I should question if that is good or bad karma at this point.

420 was not chosen because of a joke.

Elon Musk · San FranciscoFortune, 23 January 2023

Seven August 2018 wrote the price. The stand five years later named the round.

What it supports

A dated public utterance and a later sworn gloss. 420 is the written price.

What it does not

Does not prove a cosmic 420. Does not speak for this chronicle.
