It is not a secret that both companies are closer to what we see as mere mortals but this could have been visible in 2013 when Apple presented a formal purchase offer to Tesla. This, which obviously we already know, did not happen, is now being told on CNBC Craig Irwin, an analyst at Roth Capital Partners.
Meetings between Apple and Tesla executives have been the talk of the media for a long time and it is something that obviously we all had in mind that it was happening, but We were not so clear that the offers or negotiations to buy Tesla were really serious but it seems that they were.
About $ 240 per share was Appple's offer
From what Irwin says, Apple's offer reached $ 240 per share and although it is true that not many details of the meetings or negotiations are known, Elon Musk's signature refused to accept it as is evident for some reason that has not transpired in the filtration itself shown in Apple Insider.
Last 2014, a possible meeting between the CEOs of both companies was seen on the Twitter profile of Apple's chief operating officer, Adrian Perica, but nothing was officially confirmed either. The recent news published in the media and related to Tesla's low liquidity (10 months, as confirmed by Musk in an email to his employees) suggests that we could be facing new chapters of this purchase negotiation by Apple, or not. Tesla stock is now just over $ 200, so it may be a good time to bid again. if Apple is really interested in carrying out this operation at present the purchase would be cheaper.
