Investors and finanical analysts have been baffled by a $2.86 billion bid by electric car manufacturer Tesla to acquire SolarCity:

Musk, the largest shareholder of both companies, said he and Antonio Gracias, who is also a member of both boards, will recuse themselves from voting on the takeover offer. The all-stock deal is worth $26.50 to $28.50 for each SolarCity share, Tesla said. That calculates to a premium of as much as 35 percent from Tuesday's closing price. The average 12-month price target among analysts surveyed by Bloomberg is $29.82. "In my personal opinion, this is obviously something that should happen," Musk, who is chief executive officer of Tesla and chairman of SolarCity, said in a conference call. "It's a no-brainer." With 100.2 million SolarCity shares outstanding, the offer is worth as much as $2.86 billion.

[...] Tesla fell as much as 12 percent in extended trading while SolarCity rose as much as 29 percent.

    ...nobody wants to look at them...

    I've never understood this. I checked out your link, and several of those turbines were quite artistic. I wouldn't mind seeing those on my neighbor's rooftop, and I'd be proud to have one on mine.

    Of course, I also think that an orderly arrangement of cables [rollernet.us] for a server rack is aesthetically pleasing, so perhaps that should be

    ...nobody whose opinion matters wants to look at them...
