Elon Musk again tweeted misinformation

• Silver Lake: Sources tell Axios that the tech-focused private equity is not working with Musk as a "financial advisor," as regulators and lawyers would generally consider that to be the same thing as a broker-dealer. Instead, Silver Lake is providing some unpaid and informal consulting services to Musk, as it kicks the tires to see if it might have interest in participating as an investor.
• Goldman: Bloomberg and the WSJ both report that conversations between the two sides are ongoing, but not finalized.

Federal securities regulators continue to investigate Musk's tweet from last Wednesday about having "funding secured" for the buyout, which he subsequently admitted was actually just an expression of interest from a Saudi sovereign wealth fund.
