Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

Some history—and an interesting timeline!

In December of 2015, Charlie Kuehmann leaves Apple and Questek to join Tesla. The formal announcement was made in February of 2016.

Just a few months later, Lugee Li enters into a securities purchase agreement with Liquidmetal (March 2016) for a total of $63,000,000.

Li is named CEO later in the year, and then named Chairmen of the board as well.

Liquidmetal and Charlie have worked together for years via Crucible Intelectual Properties (Apple and Liquidmetal jointly owned company), and Lugee Li and Eontec have worked together for years on the door hinge/strike plate. Then Kuehmann goes to Apple…and Lugee buys a controlling share in Liquidmetal?!?! $63,000,000! Seems like a hell of a connection.

So Tesla, in just a few months, hires Apple’s main scientist, gets access to Liquidmetal and Apple’s R&D amorphous metals patents, and then an amorphous metals manufacturing company in china partners with Liquidmetal for a hefty sum of $63,000,000. Yep….
