Several years ago, the network actively discussed information about Apple’s plans to acquire Tesla or enter into a partnership agreement with the manufacturer of electric cars. But these rumors have not been officially confirmed. However, the other day, Roth Capital Partners analyst Craig Irwin told CNBC that the Coopertinos were really planning to buy Tesla.
According to the expert, in 2013 Apple was ready to buy the manufacturer of electric cars for an impressive sum – more than 30 billion dollars. Irwin’s sources say the Coopertinos were willing to pay $240 per share for Tesla, with a market price of no higher than $190. However, for unknown reasons, the deal did not take place.
At the moment, shares of one of the most famous manufacturers of electric cars fluctuate near the mark of 200 dollars. At the same time, just the other day, Tesla CEO Elon Musk noted that in the next 10 months the company could go bankrupt.
It is worth noting that in recent years Apple has been actively luring Tesla employees. The exact figure of the people who decided to start work in the apple company is now unknown. However, several designers and a number of engineers have moved to Cupertino since then.
