I'm getting increasingly worried about the sanity of you all....:wink:
The OP refers to a post that cites "...articles and blogs alluding to the question of whether Apple would buy Tesla Motors". So try to find some:
*jrickard* points us to http://blog.evtv.me where the headline reads "APPLE Aquires Tesla Motors" but neither Apple nor Tesla is mentioned in the blog!
Well how about http://barryschuler.com - apple-should-buy-tesla-pronto...he has a disclaimer "This is simply an idea/opinion."
Would Apple Acquire Tesla? turns out not to answer that question, but to ponder that it would be better financially for Apple to enter the EV market than the TV market.
Should Apple buy Tesla because of the shortage of lithium for batteries? - "Not necessarily, but there are some other interesting overlaps between the companies.......But does this make Apple and Tesla a good fit because each are reliant on lithium batteries? No."
Forbes must be up on this right? Hey, it shows up on a Google search: Apple's Secret Plan For Its Cash Stash but....it's only mentioned in the reader comments. Darn!
So people, that was where I gave up after about 5 minutes. Do some research and it certainly looks like somebody had an idea and threw it out there and because it seems fun it gets repeated here and there but has no basis in fact whatsoever. Yawn.....
