Probably not A simple reason why Apple won't buy Tesla for $75B -
I'm still on the fence about Calacanis' prediction on this.

good point. on the quarterly conference call recently he said Tesla will be a $700b company
Tesla CEO Elon Musk says a lot of bold things. But he may have just outdone himself. He thinks the stock will go into "insane mode" over the next decade.
Musk told investors on the company's earnings conference call Wednesday evening that Tesla (TSLA) could be worth $700 billion by 2025.

Word around an espresso machine? LOL
Jason Calacanis proposed just this in a Medium post the other day. At least tens of thousands have read and discussed it.
At first I was thinking nah, but then he did lay out a compelling argument. Not so sure on the price, but Apple has been known to overpay for things they want if they feel it will be a strategic fit. Look no further than Beats. Plus they'd probably get Elon Musk onboard. It would partly be a talent play, just like they wanted and got with Dre and Jimmy in the Beats deal.
Steve was always the big dreamer who knew how to (mostly) successfully execute. Tim Cook is an excellent CEO. I suspect he is more operational, and knows this, and is therefore going after talent. Tim knows he needs big dreamers with proven success to fill the big shoes Jobs left behind.Comment

I hope Musk doesn't consider selling Tesla. He's an innovator and a large part of the driving force behind Tesla. Look what happened at Apple when they got rid of Jobs. And how they rebounded when he came back.

Fundamentally TSLA is a company being run down by a CEO that only cares about his paycheck. I'm pretty sure AAPL is going to outdo TSLA.Comment

Musk is Telsa, much the same as Jobs was Apple.. I think it would be very hard for any company to innovate as he has or have the same ability to push from concept to production.. Maybe in 10 years it would work once things are more mainstream, but at this time & age of electric cars Tesla would fail if another company took it over, with out Musk at the helm.. There is still too much work to be done and Apple or anyone else would fall flat on their faces..In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

If their battery technology joint venture takes off they will be known mostly for that. Apple would be 'that battery company that also makes electronics' and Tesla would be 'that battery company that also makes cars' A cell phone that needs charging once a month and car that needs charging once a year would make all the rest tiny by comparison when they license that out to every electrical product on the planet.
Whether they join up or not depends mostly on that project.Comment

My thought is that one of them plans on buying out this...

Hello!
Actually I hope that Apple does not buy Tesla / hope that Elon does not sell to Apple.
I like to think that Elon Musk is having a really good time and really enjoying what he is doing; changing the world with electric cars, building better batteries, and building spaceships. If I were him, I don't think I could sell my Tesla-baby for any amount of money.
I also think Apple is making a mistake getting into the car business. I like my Apple computers and iPhones, but Apple would have a seriously hard time impressing me with a new car, electric or not.
If I were Mr. Apple, I would try to get my technology into cars first. For example, GM really needs to drop the horrible, crappy MyLink system and replace it with an iPad. GM makes decent cars but their interfaces suck. Replacing MyLink with an in-dash iPad would be much better and far less expensive. Tesla's interface is pretty good...Comment

So, if they buy Tesla (which i hope would NEVER EVER happen) would that mean that the plug would change every year and you would be forced to upgrade a car for a new model each year?? ;-).
I am also sure the battery would start having immediate problems…

Musk would still have space-x which is way more cool and futuristic then electronic cars
Ride sharing like uber is making people need less cars and use less fuel anyway. I'd say if apple bought tesla it'd be so they could once again own the proprietary hardware for their giant network of driverless cars you can hailSupComment

Seems the game is on:
"Apple car rumors continue to fly
The Apple iCar rumor mill is kicking into high gear as A123 Systems has filed a lawsuit against the tech giant for hiring some of their top engineers.
According to the suit, Apple started poaching A123 Systems employees in June of 2014. They contend that once hired, they began working on projects similar to the ones they were doing at A123 Systems. The company says this is a violation of their employment agreements and contends "Apple is currently developing a large-scale battery division to compete in the very same field as A123."
The suit goes on to claim that former employee Mujeeb Ijaz is helping Apple to "systematically" hire "A123’s high-tech PhD and engineering employees, thereby effectively shutting down various projects/programs at A123."
Apple hasn't responded to the suit but A123 Systems will probably sound familiar to anyone who was a fan of the ill-fated Fisker Karma. The battery-maker went bankrupt in 2012 and stopped suppling batteries to Fisker. This, in return, halted Karma production and helped to push the automaker into bankruptcy. Both companies were eventually bought by the Wanxiang who is actively trying to revive Fisker."

Tesla is the one car company that is doing things right.... Great car, and it's electric. While all of the other car companies are trying to build an electric car, Tesla is doing it. And it's a great car. As soon as they can lower the prices a little bit and make SUVs, they will dominate the market.Herschel Savage
