Instead of buying a company like eBay, Apple should try to acquire a company like Tesla, assuming Elon is ever willing to sell (probably not). 1. Apple has considered building a car before 2. Not quite the same but essentially an EV is pretty much a giant computer, and more relevant to Apple's current strength than entering the e-commerce space itself. There is a lot of baggage that comes with the eBay/PayPal business model (I realize this is just an example Scully used) that Apple probably doesn't want even if they were to enter the payment space. 3. The market for EVs is still tremendously young and in my opinion hugely massive and one worth entering and competing in right now even if it is far from Apple's current product lineup and doesn't sync as well as all of its existing product. 4. Even with point #3 above, Apple is working with car manufacturers already to integrate Siri and other things probably. This might put a dent in partnerships (maybe) but arguably the EV market is more important than extending a marketing strategy to integrate Siri and other aspects into other major car brands in my opinion. Just my two cents.
