1. Tesla's market cap is $23.74B, on a public market. A premium over that would be needed, but it's worth noting it's not a ex nihilo VC valuation.
2. I know everyone is having fun dreaming about Apple buying Tesla, but I really don't see any sane reason why it would actually happen.
3. Why would anyone buy Tesla? Why do we want Tesla to be bought by someone? Worth noting that success stories of uninnovative large companies buying smaller innovative ones to reinvigorate themselves doesn't work very often.
- bryang 13y ago3 solid thoughts. And I agree with you on all. My question is more of a "pie-in-the-sky" type of thing, because honestly, who would've thought about Facebook buying WhatsApp for 16B?
- julespitt 13y agoI see. I just now realized I didn't see it coming because I didn't take their attempted acquisition of SnapChat seriously enough. They really wanted messaging, and WhatsApp users and revenue are already impressive to the point of making SnapChat look tiny in comparison.
