[(Title)] Tesla's board forms a special committee to evaluate going private.

Tesla's board has formed a special committee to evaluate CEO Elon Musk's desire to go private.

特斯拉的董事会成立了一个特别委员会，负责评估首席执行官埃隆·马斯克的私有化交易愿望。

The electric car maker said Tuesday the committee has not received a formal proposal from Musk, but the move to form the committee is another signal the idea is being seriously considered.

电动汽车制造商周二表示，委员会尚未收到马斯克的正式建议，但组建委员会的行动是另一个信号，这个想法正在得到认真考虑。

Any action to take the company private will need the approval of the special committee, made up of three Tesla board members, the company said.

该公司表示，任何对公司采取私人行动的都必须获得由三位特斯拉董事会成员组成的特别委员会的批准。

Musk publicly floated the possibility of a buyout in a tweet Aug. 7, and the company has been offering updates and added context since then.

马斯克在8月7日的Twitter上公开宣传了收购的可能性，该公司自那时起就一直在提供最新情况和补充内容。

Musk on Monday defended his original tweet, saying the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund was interested in taking the company private. The Saudi fund declined to comment.

马斯克周一为他的原始推特进行了辩护，称沙特阿拉伯主权财富基金对收购该公司感兴趣，沙特基金拒绝置评。

Musk also tweeted later Monday that Goldman Sachs and Silver Lake were involved in the discussions.

马斯克周一晚些时候在推特上称，高盛(GoldmanSachs)和银湖(SilverLake)参与了此次讨论。

CNBC reported last week that the Tesla board planned to meet with financial advisers this week to formalize a process to explore going private, and that it would likely ask Musk to recuse himself from the decision.

CNBC上周报告说，特斯拉董事会计划本周与金融顾问会面，正式启动一个私人融资程序，并且可能会要求马斯克回避这一决定。

The special committee is composed of independent board members Brad Buss, Robyn Denholm and Linda Johnson Rice, Tesla said. The committee has retained legal counsel and plans to retain an independent financial adviser.

特斯拉说，特别委员会由独立董事会成员Brad Buss、Robyn Denholm和Linda Johnson Rice组成，该委员会保留了法律顾问，并计划聘用一名独立的财务顾问。

Buss is the former CFO of SolarCity, Musk's renewable energy venture. He also serves on the board of Advance Auto Parts and Marvell Technology.

Buss是全美国最大的太阳能发电公司（SolarCity）的首席财务干事，是马斯克的可再生能源合资企业，同时兼任领先汽车配件（Advance Auto Parts）及美满电子科技(MarvellTechnology)技术高级理事会。

Denholm is COO of telecommunications firm Telstra and previously held executive positions at system networks company Juniper.

Denholm是电信公司Telstra的COO，以前曾在系统网络公司Juniper担任执行职务。

Johnson Rice is the chairman and CEO at Johnson Publishing Co. and CEO of Ebony Media Operations. She also serves on the boards of Omnicom Group and food delivery service Grubhub.

Johnson Rice是Ebony Media Operations Co.的董事长兼首席执行官，也是Omnicom Grubhub集团董事会和提供食品服务集团的董事。
