Tesla's board has formed a special committee to evaluate CEO Elon Musk's desire to go private, the company said Tuesday. The committee has not yet received a formal proposal from Musk, the statement says, but it's another signal that the company is seriously considering the option.

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.
