If this is the one I watched this morning, I didn't finish because of the literal handwaving, manic go-nowhere yapping, and general sound of the voice, and the speaker isn't all that bright, either. But hey, I was pretty tired when I made this. /jk Regardless, it's free. Not really me. ;^)

Tesla Buys Maxwell For Battery Breakthrough | HyperChange TV | Published Feb 4, 2019 | YouTube

Did they go “wee, wee, wee” all the way to the bank?

I briefly had them confused with Maxell, the makers of the cassette tapes used for your really _important_ mix tapes, and the floppy disks for all your cheap, cracked video games. Yes, Maxell does make batteries. (Well, they don’t make many floppies anymore.)

This is interesting: it confirms that yes, Tesla sees the writing on the wall vis-a-vis the expiration date for Lithium battery-technology.

I would guess that Maxwell knows more about batteries than Tesla.

Here’s a simple question for all the stock experts here I suspect so simple that I can’t find an answer to it online (maybe I haven’t been searching well enough): what happens to the money of people who to this point have owned Maxwell stock?

What happens to their ownership? Do they now own stock in Tesla, or will they get a check for their stake in the company of Maxwell or what. How’s that work?

How does a buyout like this affect previous owners of the stock bought out, that’s my general question.

Thanks in advance.
