  Hello everybody and welcome to the Elon Musk pods.
• 2:18
  The podcast about everything Elon Musk from Tesla, too,
• 2:23
  boring to flamethrowers to SpaceX, anything you'll and musk
• 2:28
  is involved with. This is what the podcast is
• 2:32
  about. Now, today's episode is going to
• 2:35
  be about Google acquiring Tesla. Why would they do that?
• 2:44
  You know how much money you would it cost, what's you know,
• 2:48
  what's the reason behind all this stuff, right?
• 2:50
  So let's take a look at what Forbes has to say about this
• 2:54
  Forbes. Of course, they know everything
• 2:57
  about money and they talk about it all the time.
• 3:01
  They could a test, they could acquire test the for fifteen
• 3:04
  hundred dollars per share. Two trillion dollar stocks,
• 3:09
  okay, they look at this from a very analytical standpoint.
• 3:15
  Why would they want to buy Tesla and how much money would it
• 3:21
  cost? What would it do for Tesla?
• 3:23
  What would it do for Google? And the future of the car
• 3:27
  company, of course. So on musk's Tesla right now is
• 3:33
  being traded on the stock market.
• 3:36
  It's not a private company. People can buy shares of Tesla,
• 3:42
  Google a tech company, huge, huge tech company.
• 3:46
  Huge tech company billions of dollars worth of assets.
• 3:51
  There are some reasons why Tesla would want to sell to Google,
• 3:57
  and one of them from my own personal opinion is because Elon
• 4:03
  Musk has shares in Tesla. Elon Musk could Bank.
• 4:10
  If Google buys Tesla. Okay, so if Elon Musk sells it,
• 4:16
  you know, if Tesla sold I should say Elon Musk cashes out takes
• 4:22
  all that money and invest it into SpaceX.
• 4:26
  And then his dream of sending people to Mars gets a lot
• 4:33
  closer, because Google's current market cap.
• 4:39
  According to Forbes here, Google's current market cap. 1
• 4:43
  trillion dollars, Could be worth five, two point five trillion
• 4:48
  dollars, if they by Tesla, Google is a software Powerhouse.
• 4:56
  Tesla makes great software. Google has more Engineers more
• 5:01
  experience with engineering, so they could benefit from having
• 5:05
  Google's Engineers, Tesla is a hardware company as well.
• 5:09
  Go will make some Hardware, but, you know, it's, it's not that
• 5:13
  great. It's okay, right?
• 5:16
  You know, pixel books, Etc. It's okay.
• 5:20
  The phones are all right, you know, the pretty good but Tesla
• 5:24
  makes amazing Vehicles. So Tesla has the hardware Google
• 5:28
  can make the software better. they could have a great marriage
• 5:32
  of software and Hardware with these two companies, becoming
• 5:35
  one now, Tesla stock jumped up a little bit.
• 5:42
  To almost a thousand dollars last week because there was
• 5:44
  speculation of this buyout, right?
• 5:48
  And, like I said before, the reason one of the reasons, one
• 5:52
  of the huge reasons, why Elon Musk could sell the to Google is
• 5:55
  because of SpaceX Elon Musk believes that once he gets to a
• 6:02
  certain point with Tesla. And he said this in the past
• 6:05
  different interviews in the past was he gets to a certain point
• 6:09
  and Tesla and everybody's kind of following the lead of
• 6:12
  electric vehicles of Evie's and they get away from gas-powered
• 6:16
  Vehicles, he can move on to something else.
• 6:20
  It's almost there. Major car companies are making
• 6:24
  V's now and they're serious about it.
• 6:27
  They're not just taking it with a grain of salt, making some
• 6:30
  some weird-looking vehicle, you know they're making Amazing
• 6:34
  Vehicles, The Battery Technology is improving, and this is going
• 6:39
  to be at the Forefront right now.
• 6:41
  We're at the Forefront of TV technology, so in musk's idea
• 6:48
  for Tesla was okay, let's start this thing.
• 6:51
  So, for him to step out cash in is stocks.
• 6:55
  Cash in a shares, making bank putting that money towards
• 6:59
  something amazing in this. This article from Forbes goes
• 7:04
  really into detail about how much money is involved, what
• 7:08
  they could be doing in the future.
• 7:12
  It's basically goes into the money of everything.
• 7:14
  So that being said, you know, it really does it comes down to
• 7:21
  Elon Musk. It comes down to SpaceX in my
• 7:24
  opinion I believe that's why if anything, why Elon Musk would
• 7:29
  sell his shares of Tesla. Now it's not saying that this
• 7:35
  will actually happen. You know it's speculative it's
• 7:38
  speculation right now nobody knows.
• 7:40
  So what's going on behind closed doors and they really can't
• 7:44
  until somebody comes forward and says, hey we're going to make
• 7:46
  this deal happen. This is a real thing and you
• 7:49
  know I'm sure they've talked before a mega giant like Google,
• 7:53
  reaching out to Tesla and Elon Musk.
• 7:56
  I'm sure they have dinner together sometimes.
• 7:59
  You know what I'm saying? Like I'm sure they call each
• 8:02
  other and phone text each other, whatever we chat or whatever,
• 8:05
  whatever they do, tweet each other, who knows?
• 8:08
  I mean, he lands on Twitter all the time anyway so Possible.
• 8:11
  They slide into each other's DMS every once in a while.
• 8:14
  So that's my speculation of what's possible and why Ilan
• 8:20
  would want to sell his shares of Tesla to Google.
• 8:25
  So I'm going to cut it off there, my friends.
• 8:27
