The new strategy should be: Tesla is "Apple Cool" already, and at the head of the pack. Apple has ungodly amounts of cash kicking around and could easily (at least cash wise), buy Tesla.
This feels like an obvious "buy don't build" scenario.
- ejcx 10y agoI feel like this would work well but both parties would never agree. Elon gets ungodly amounts of money and mass production experience to execute his vision. Apple gets to make a ton of money if it works out. But would Elon join one of the big cos when he thinks he could be a big co? I don't think so?
- traskjd 10y agoThat's why I said "(at least cash wise)" :-) Having Elon focus on SpaceX would be a win IMO. I'm not sure when you're talking $20bn+ acquisitions that the founder/CEO would stick around beyond being an adviser.
- Strom 10y agoThere are also other new things that Elon has mentioned he would likely do after Tesla, with building an example hyperloop being one.
- toodlebunions 10y agoI could actually see it happening if there was another strong recession before Tesla got bigger. Aside from that, no.
- setpatchaddress 10y agoWhy? I can't imagine Apple cares about anything that Tesla would bring to the table.
