Could Apple buy Ford?

Apple will never ever invest in Ford, why would they? They want to make EVs, Ford isn't really related to this product.

If not for the government, FORD would have been bankrupt years ago, there is nothing to buy there except an overfunded pension.

Not defending a whimsical post on my part....

....but thats BS dude....Mulally was the only CEO to not take the bailout.
And he drove to the Congressional hearings. He didn't take a private jet.

I cleaned up on the trade .... I remember the details quite well.

Dyson is overrated..... I have used a few of their products... Very expensive and completely hyped.

They work well for owners of a dog that sheds.

Ford did get a bailout ....they did not take money from TARP like GM and Chrysler but they did take billions from TALF

Why would Apple be interested in Ford? And why would Ford agree on this deal?

Big difference between TALF and TARP.

Again... we digress. But just for the record here.....

And why Apple should buy Ford? I think they don't need to do it. They are able to produce their own cars without any help.

You're right. Factories are cheap. Machine tools.... pennies on the dollar.

.....1000 years of combined manufacturing knowledge? Dirt cheap.

50Bil with something to actually show for it, the object of the game is the blow there entire wealth then they win there $1 sports bet.

That's why they only blow that kinda money on crappy software, with zero actual value.

Then we'll get to the point where mobile phone sales, allow them to buy every other major company, we can't let that happen, there only average mobile phones arrgggghhhh!!
