As much as I'd love them to buy Netflix, people have been saying it for years and still doesn't seem to make sense, since in general Apple get's everything it needs from Netflix through AppleTV. Owning it wouldn't greatly increase their profits vs the cost to get it. More importantly, when its time to renew all the shows, all the major networks could simply increase all there rates knowing Apple can afford it. Yes, Netflix has a lot more original content now, but even that may suffer with a company at the helm.
For Tesla, Apple can build their own car if they won't but it sounds like they have decided against that and instead will focus on building the intelligence of the cars and then sell that to all the car manufactures through licensing which is much more lucrative based on the effort involved.
Instead Apple will continue to focus on smaller companies to gain more control over their supply chain and the companies that they have to pay licenses to. That is guaranteed savings in the long run vs something like Netflix which could devalue itself with a new owner.
