The rumor has been circulating for several months now: Is Apple buying Tesla? It's clearly a match made in heaven, making millions of fans rejoice and attracting, even more, followers that would guarantee a successful marriage of business and tech. With Tesla currently at its peak, surpassing Ford's market value and eyeing GM's US top position, the innovative company might be able to turn around Apple's plummeting popularity.
There are several good reasons why these two tech giants should combine powers. First, they need each other's positive qualities that have made both of them extremely popular and wildly beloved. Second, fierce competitors are closing in and joining forces will most likely give boost each other's power to conquer and rule.
According to Seeking Alpha, Apple lacks growth and innovation, while Tesla lacks financial stability. Despite its strong cash flow, Steve Job's company is gradually waning as emerging rivals like Samsung, Huawei, and ZTE is closing in with its smartphone distribution, likewise with its iOS which is slowly being overshadowed by the Android. In other words, this company is in desperate need of innovative and trendy ideas.
Meanwhile, stock future does not look great for the electric car maker despite its recent wins over shares and market value. It's hugely overpriced, and it could suffer from financial issues later on as it struggles to meet huge demands. However, it is enormously popular and recent survey shows that 91 percent of buyers would gladly purchase a Tesla again.
In conclusion, with Apple's enormous cash flow and Tesla's growth potential, the merger of these two guarantees success for both parties. However, according to Fortune, the car company is in a shaky position right now, which could likely discourage the iPhone maker from proposing a deal. Also, there's a very plausible scenario of clashing egos between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook.
