Buyout?

[outsydthebox]

New members who know better than everyone including EM, what will work. It has happened before, it will happen again. Ignore is a good option. Z

Someone just got on the "EM tour bus" and has decided that the driver should take a short cut.

If anything, if he did need funds, I think a lot of us (reservation holders) would jump at the chance to become "shareholders" in this company. Many of us believe in Elio and what he is trying to do.
I think there are many "small investors" waiting in the ranks with no desire to "run" the company. We believe in Paul.

Geez, guys. I don't visit the forum for ONE day and when I come back, I am finding all of this talk about Elio Motors not coming to market. . . . , or maybe being bought out?

What's happening? WHAT happened in the last 24 hours to bring us to this very intense and serious discussion?

Please, someone; YOU, Z; fill me in and bring me up to speed. o_O

Nothing happened. I was just throwing out ideas, if come september, they dont have the funding, what will elio do. You cant keep delaying. I would hope that a announcement would be made in september either way. The cars are coming out, they are going public, or they were bought out.

Short cuts are usually futile attempts at bypassing necessary mileage!

If he went public with Elio Motors I would invest 10 to 20K in Elio stocks. I feel his vehicle is going to help a lot of people. It will provide jobs here in the U. S., cut our dependence on foreign oil and also show the world that American can still lead the way into the future.

I think there has to be actual Production Elio's rolling off the assembly line before going public would ever be a viable option for raising future working capital.

Are you kidding me. Have you seen some of the companies that went public in the last 20 years.Its all about demand. If they sell the dream and people think its viable, they will invest.Its called greed and fear. If greed overrides fear, they will get their money.

I'll take my BK to go,

By the way- Waiter, what's that Elio doing in my soup? - Quite a bit with only three feet.

What if Paul Elio meets a bear...
and it's a MAGICAL bear....
and it gives him power to FLY....
then he wouldn't need a car...
and we would be left with $1000 t-shirts.

Would that be scary?

Or this one kid....
he had a 3 wheeled bike...
then scraped his knee.

I don't want to scrape my knee with an Elio.

That scares me.
