Google buying Salesforce?

I’ve hear rumors that Google may buy Salesforce. With the recent partnership does this seem likely? Anyone from either company know anything?

Source? We've had rumors since 2014.

Microsoft had a partnership with Salesforce then rumors came out about them trying to buy it. Months later it turned out the rumors were true. Perhaps this Google partnership is more of a dating stage. Who knows..

That’s what I was thinking. Expedia dated Travelocity for a while, then bought them a year later.

Google doesn’t have the fortitude, and given their terrible track record in the enterprise space, they’d run this into the ground.

Diane Greene is supposedly a badass though...

Which might be why Salesforce would be their golden ticket into the enterprise space

No way

Why by when you can partner and already have it from your side?

Because Google can’t crack the enterprise, this partnership is one sided

Too big. Impossible.

I see that as a logical next step. Tech is consolidating
