Some (basic) analysis about the pros of a Saudi buyout in this article. Not sure if I completely agree but it sure is a possibility. In fact, low stock prices like what we are seeing inevitably open the door to being a takeover target. If not the Saudis, then which other car company might want to swoop in to get access to the Lucid tech? If not a takeover then certainly a JV or collaboration which has been discussed before of course.
