Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk said last Friday that he is giving up on taking the company private in the wake of shareholders' objections.
特斯拉汽车公司首席执行官埃隆·马斯克上周五表示，在遭到股东们的反对后，他将放弃将公司私有化。
In a post on the company's website, Musk said he had informed Tesla's board that "I believe the better path is for Tesla to remain public."
马斯克在公司网站上发文称，他已于日前告知特斯拉董事会，“我认为对特斯拉来说更好的道路是继续保持上市公司的状态”。
Tesla directors released a statement last Friday night saying, "we fully support Elon as he continues to lead the company moving forward."
特斯拉董事会成员上周五晚间发表声明称：“我们完全支持埃隆继续领导公司向前迈进”。
Musk said he made the decision to remain public after consulting Tesla shareholders large and small, and after concluding that the undertaking could impair efforts to boost production of its new sedan that are crucial to his strategy for Tesla.
马斯克表示，在作出放弃让公司私有化的决定之前，他征求了特斯拉大大小小的股东的意见，此后得出的结论认为私有化可能影响特斯拉为增加新款轿车产量所做的努力。新款轿车对他制定的特斯拉战略至关重要。
"I knew the process of going private would be challenging, but it's clear that it would be even more time-consuming and distracting than initially anticipated," Musk wrote.
马斯克写道：“我知道私有化过程将具有挑战性，但很显然，这比最初预计的要更耗时、更令人分心。”
"This is a problem because we absolutely must stay focused on ramping up the Model 3 and becoming profitable. We will not achieve our mission of advancing sustainable energy unless we are also financially sustainable."
“这是一个问题，因为我们必须把重点放在增加Model 3的产量和实现盈利上。除非我们在财政上有可持续的资金来源，否则就无法实现自己推进可持续能源发展的使命。”
