You think GM or Ford would buy a $19B company with a premium(if they had the money) to deep six it? Buy something worth half the value of their company in order to destroy it?
That is conspiracy theory taken to the extreme.
One question: why do you think about contract manufacturing as a likely relationship with Ford, GM? It seems to me that the best way to leverage Tesla's technology and speed-up the Transition, without wasting Tesla's resources, would be to do licensing agreements with the manufacturers that would like to have "Tesla inside" of their cars.
Absolutely agree with this, Julian, "this nonsense needs to stop".

I can't see either Ford or GM doing this. Not Invented Here is very strong at all auto manufacturers.
Answer: Not a chance in either case. It’s actually a ridiculous question if you know anything about the man. Watch almost any good interview of Elon Musk and he clearly tells everyone exactly what his plans are and exactly what his goals are. None of them are about making money. He had enough money to live the life of luxury when he sold PayPal. Instead of doing that he chose to focus on his three goals in life and spent his fortune to make that happen. The result is three successful companies: Tesla, SpaceX, and SolarCity. Selling off any of his companies will not happen until he reaches his goals with them. That’s it. You can speculate all you want but it will not happen. The man has a mission and will not be deterred from it.
Remind me: What is Rick Santelli's prediction accuracy rate relative to EVs?
I'm thinking TSLA's rather tepid day was caused by the words "Tesla" and "GM" being used so often in the same sentence. Yuck
