I think sure, there might have been a better deal between GM and Honda, but I think at a deeper level it's probably different industries trying to "circle the wagons" so to speak.

I think big tech will probably end up being forced to move into manufacturing through grass roots efforts or acquisitions if they truly want to compete in this space.
