It is noted that federal prosecutors started an investigation into fraud after last month Musk wrote on Twitter that he plans to buy out Tesla shares and withdraw it from the stock exchange, and also that he has "financing" for this deal.
It is reported that after this statement the value of the company's shares increased.
As Bloomberg notes, the investigation is at an early stage and may take several months.
Previously, Tesla shareholders filed a lawsuit against Ilona Mask after he reported on his plans for securities.
