### Comment:
Tesla has been public for almost 9 years and is no where near profit.....is that just a bunch of private investors trying to cash out too?

### REPLY:
But it's not like there's been a decent shift in different share holder ownership in Tesla since IPO. The only reasons a company would IPO is because the private holders want to cash out and couldn't find anyone to purchase thier shares privately or they need to raise capital for the company.
