Kirk Kerkorian and Jerome York are interested in orchestrating an alliance between GM and Renault/ Nissan in order to make a quick buck, says Washington Post columnist Warren Brown. “Kerkorian and York would love to see Ghosn at GM’s helm, not so much because that management change would do anything meaningful for GM, Nissan or Renault, but because the simple announcement of a Ghosn takeover could boost GM’s stock value, a development that would make billionaire Kerkorian and, by proxy, York, richer than they already are,” wrote Brown. “Kerkorian and York are in it strictly for the money, as readily shown by their various corporate histories of buying and selling positions in companies, with little discernible regard for the quality of products or services provided by those companies.”
