“Angel investor and entrepreneur Jason Calacanis believes Apple will purchase Tesla for the eye-popping sum of $75 billion within the next 18 months,” Nicole Arce reports for Tech Times.
“Calacanis admits he does not have access to valuable inside information from Tesla or Apple, nor does he own shares from any of the companies,” Arce reports. “In fact, the closest thing he gets to both is the two Teslas he purchased from the electric car company and the $3,000 worth of Apple products he buys every year. Still, Calacanis believes Apple is going after Elon Musk’s brainchild, and he cites several reasons why.”
“Given Tim Cook’s ‘obsession’ with renewable energy, Calacanis says it only makes sense that Apple is interested in buying Tesla,” Arce reports. “He also believes Tesla’s plan to take its five-inch thick batteries out of the Model S and into people’s garages to provide cheap electricity could further convince Apple to lay the $75 billion for Tesla. And given Apple’s reputation for introducing revolutionary new products in every market it enters, notwithstanding its lack of experience – think music, smartphones, and retail, Calacanis says Apple is the only company Musk will not be able to turn down.”
