https://electrek.files.wordpress.com...&h=0#038;h=500 Elon Musk and Antonio Gracias will recuse themselves from voting on the $2.8 billion merger deal since they both sit on the boards of both companies. JB Straubel, best known for being co-founder and CTO of Tesla, and Peter Rive, SolarCity co-founder and CTO, but also cousin to Elon Musk. That leaves only three could vote on the offer. When it is approved, there are Tesla trademark applications be used on solar energy equipment, solar cells, inverters & batteries, installation, maintenance & repair of solar collection equipment and solar energy consultation...means Tesla might replace the SolarCity name.
If Tesla deal goes through, SolarCity name could be no more - Autoblog
