#Tesla is always on "the brink of failure." Yet always pulls through. $TSLA

Ouch! #Tesla has been too much of a roller coaster ride for me the past few months. It's becoming too volatile for me to hold. $TSLA

I agree. There's enough sensationalism around #Tesla and #Musk lately without needing to exaggerate the headline as Zerohedge so often does. $TSLA

#Musk rejected the deal so that's not the reason. But again he rejected the deal so lawsuit is back. THAT'S why $TSLA is down.

Thanks for this important update on $TSLA.

At one time #GM had over 100,000 in tax credits for large SUVs like Hummers. Why don't you put tax credits into perspective so it does not sound like #Tesla is taking taxpayers' money! $GM $TSLA

While #Tesla took a hit, it has since recovered nicely. $TSLA

Didn't a Saudi Group already buy 5% of #Tesla? $TSLA

You're right that the case is more clear for $TSLA than for $AAPL.

I think for $AAPL, it boils down to the progress of Project Titan --their automotive program.

It Titan is in better shape than the consensus belief, then they may do well to pass on the opportunity. Although I'm very skeptical of Titan. Even if they are developing a 1st class self-driving solution consisting of sensors, chips and SW, it would be the first time they don't take full control of the overall product --the car.

Also, EV brand authenticity belongs to Tesla. It is too late for Apple to develop the brand power it has on handheld devices in EV, IMO.

This is a fascinating article and an Apple/Tesla partnership or merger would create a formidable presence in this space. But while it's clear why #Tesla and #Musk are in desperate need of a white night to sweep in and save the day, I don't believe you've made the case for how this would benefit #Apple or #TimCook. $TSLA $AAPL
