In an SEC form filed on Oct. 7, Elon Musk indicated that the company “is currently planning to raise additional funds by the end of this year, including through potential equity or debt offerings, subject to market conditions and recognizing that Tesla cannot be certain that additional funds would be available to it on favorable terms or at all.”
But in a tweet on Sunday, Musk walked back that statement and said neither SolarCity nor Tesla will have to raise equity or debt in either the end of this year or in the first quarter of 2017. In a revised form, filed on Oct. 11, the company changed the language to “Tesla may raise funds in the future, including through potential equity or debt offering.”
