Rumor: Apple buying Tesla

[vfx]

12:00 in is where he starts talking about APPL and TSLA

Till 35:00 You can just read it above. His Ed McMahon should move on to Publishing Clearing house now.

I watched about 4 min. Just painful to watch. Almost like a comedy sketch but think they're serious.

Sorry Jack, watching 2 hours of your (probably very intelligent) speculation won't make this a fact.




To be honest I have no idea where Cape Giradeau is or what the climate is like there. I take you at your word that it's a play on the phrase "a cold day in hell" but then it's very confusing...on the one hand you're implying it will never happen, while simultaneously saying that your video explains why it should.

That's because what I'm trying to say is that it will never happen, but go on to explain why it should.

Those are hurtful words caveman. I am pouring my heart out for two hours a week in those videos. I'm working 24x7x7 just to make those precious moments on video come alive. And you don't like me just because I'm little, and ugly and my mother dresses me funny?

I'm crushed. I may never do another one....

Time to bump this thread??? :wink:

Tesla offers stock, uses proceeds to pay of DOE loan which makes Tesla eligable for buy-up...

If they leave like 20 bucks unpaid, and only pay like a dollar a year, does that mean they can't be bought for 20 years?

We need Citizen-T to chime in on this theory .

Everyone should know by now that I hate Apple.

And I don't think this move would make any sense to either of them. I think Tesla is way more valuable on its own.

I hope you're right. TSLA in 10 years will be up 1000%. AAPL will be up maybe 100% from their ATH. I wouldn't want to trade TSLA stock for AAPL long term.

With GOOG trading over $900/share seems to me they rather than AAPL would be in a much better position to acquire TSLA. We'll start the bidding at, say, $25B....

In either event, the buyout would wring out the next few years of value out of Tesla, so we can happily cashout and move on to Elon's next "big thing".

This will never happen. Daimler has right of first refusal.

Also - Elon will never report to anyone. He is an exceptional leader in his own right and peer to Jeff Bezos ,Steve Jobs and Larry and Sergei. IMHO he outclasses them. Makes Steve Jobs look like a calm well balanced family man with no career aspiration in comparison.

Elon will run Tesla until the day Exxon is worth $3/share.

Probably so -- but on Daimler's right of first refusal, they would have to be able to raise financing to match the APPL or GOOG offer. I don't think they would be able to do this. Either Google or Apple could overpay, if this was something they really wanted.

Agree. Especially AAPL who would use their stash for something useful instead of a handout to mutual funds.

I supposed another factor is, if there is any takeover in sight from anyone, Elon would have just committed insider trading by buying $100m of Tesla stock.

That pretty much rules it out...

I think that the purchase was his signal that says, "I'm not going anywhere."

Since paying off the DOE loan eliminated some requirements for his continued involvement, Elon recently did comment that he wouldn't consider selling until the GenIII was established. Seems doubtful anyone would attempt a hostile takeover of a company with a value so dependent on it's CEO/product architect.

One day (before Elon Musk goes to Mars) Tesla Motors will have a higher market cap than Apple.
Does Elon Musk eat apples?
I think he does.
Then he just might decide to take a bite in Apple.

You're funny today, and very poetic... I was in Amsterdam a few weeks ago, and while I don't smoke tobacco I did smoke some other things there... Have you been doing the same today?
