Someone like Chrysler(I just like to pick on Chrysler) who is really lagging buys it.
But I'd imagine depending on the state of autonomous tech, they may sell that as one company(perhaps to license it to others), sell the car company as another, maybe sell the semi division to another, and solar and batteries to someone else. This doesn't have to happen all at once. But I definitely see Musk wanting to pursue other grander visions than a car company once electric antonymous vehicles are largely established in the marketplace.
Again, no need to get flippant, this is just a guess.

Sure. The problem with that belief is that Tesla would have to lose almost 80% of their value to even be affordable to most car companies.
None of them can afford to spend $50 billion on a company, and that would be like 20% of what Tesla is valued at right now.
What I do think will happen is Tesla will remain a car manufacturer that only controls 10% of the market, and sells their battery and other tech to the other manufacturers because it will be far more lucrative.
