Ilon Musk could sell Tesla Motors to Google Corporation



In March 2013, Tesla had everything very bad: the company was on the verge of financial collapse, and almost no one bought electric cars. Ilon Mask was able to find a way out of this difficult situation, but at one time he was thinking about selling Tesla Motors, reports Bloomberg. Google acted as a potential buyer.

Tesla's business was very bad, and the head of the company, Ilon Musk, turned to his friend Larry Page. Musk offered Google to buy Tesla Motors, and the price of the company then was about $ 6 billion. At the same time, Ilon Mask asked Page to leave his manager in order to develop a third-generation electric car that could become mainstream.

The agreement even began to implement: Page agreed to the terms of the Mask, and the company's lawyers began to work to harmonize the terms of the transaction. It took several weeks, but the transaction itself was never closed.

Unfortunately, there is no information on why the transaction was not completed. It is only known that Tesla has ceased to be considered bankrupt. Over the next following weeks, the company even showed a profit, and paid its debts to the US Department of Energy.

It is worth noting that last year Apple was interested in Tesla Motors. Now the corporation from Cupertino, according to rumors, is working on its own electric car, but last year, according to some data , Apple was ready to pay about $ 75 billion for Tesla.
