I think it's unlikely they'll be acquired. Tesla has about $9B in debt, had never been profitable on an annual basis, and most other automakers are plowing forward with their own EVs.

I don't see much upside in acquiring Tesla. I expect chapter 7 bankruptcy (liquidation), or chapter 11 if Elon can pull the ripcord soon to have some money available to weather the restructuring.



There's a lot of P&E on the balance sheet. If they liquidate I expect the creditors will look to flog that to the major carmakers.


WhatsApp was sold for 20 billions and redhat for 32 billions. I think apple could easily buy it when time comes.
