Tesla shares ended the day 11% up at almost $380 per share - close to their all-time high. Mr Musk said shareholders would be offered $420 per share, valuing the business at more than $70bn.
特斯拉股价收盘上涨11%，每股上涨近380美元，接近历史最高水平。Musk表示，股东将获得每股420美元 ，估值超过700亿美元。
A buyout at that value would make it by far the biggest such deal. The current biggest is the purchase of utility TXU Corp in 2007 for $44bn by a consortium that included KKR and TPG.
