And you would think Elon could still be given free reign, but I suspect he would reject this out of hand because he wants to stay in absolute control.

We obviously don’t know everything behind this, but Tesla’s in perpetual turmoil internally and externally. They’ve done incredible things and at the same time put that in jeopardy. Elon has huge upside but can be his own worst enemy at times (get the fuck off of twitter)



view as:

Apple can't buy Tesla and let Musk have free reign because it will expose them to potential liabilities much larger than their investment in Tesla.

Example: -Stock manipulation would now be manipulation of Apple stock. -Autopilot related deaths and quality issues now create lawsuits against Apple's bank account and reputation.


Theoretically that depends on the deal. There are ways to have financial ownership without assuming all the liabilities
