Considering their current market cap, it surprises me that Tesla or Space X didn’t pick up BD. Seems like a natural acquisition for a rather low price.

Perhaps companies are leery of accepting Tesla's inflated shares as currency in any deal. SpaceX is still continuously raising cash, so I doubt they have a billion dollars to spend willy-nilly.
- kaibee 6y agoIf they were, they could still sell them off immediately.
- davidivadavid 6y agoI doubt they would allow that.
- janitor_monkey 6y agoUsually, there are lock up periods for those, plus the uncertainty between when the operation starts being discussed, an agreement is made and shareholders approve. What will Tesla be worth in a year?
- olau 6y agoCan you explain why? Neither needs dancing robots, and both seem capable of building things themselves if they need it?
- keiferski 6y agoRobotics seem like a natural extension of space travel or transportation to me. Or maybe I just associate crazy high-tech stuff with Musk.
- brianwawok 6y agoTesla wants self driving cars and space shuttles that control themselves. Robot dogs are not that helpful to either. Maybe for Mars rovers, but I assume he thinks he can do better.
