Oh, who would have thought that something of this nature was kept under wraps. Apparently there was a verbal agreement between Elon Musk and Larry Page, in which Google would have acquired Tesla for 6 billion Dollars back in 2013. This was revealed in a book on Elon Musk, from a writer of the name of Ashlee Vance. Ashlee writes for Bloomberg Newsweek. He shares something with Elon Musk and many of you, he was born here in South Africa, growing up in Texas however. The book itself has been available for pre order, only being released 19 May 2015. Well, good thing that Musk did not sell, Tesla has a market capitalisation of 26 billion Dollars. Good work for having not ironed out the kinks, on paper Musk is worth a whole lot more as a result of the company clicking at the right time. In another positive, around three quarters of a year on: Tesla's gigafactory is coming together, thanks to satellite images. Nice. Next set of news relatively soon, the last reporting quarter was 11 Feb, I guess some time in early May.
