Apple Could Buy Tesla And Make Elon Musk CEO

Oh my God. I hope this never happens. I have visions of proprietary iRims fitted with proprietary iTires. Brakes to be serviced only with iFluid and iPads. Never mind cabin iFilters and iWash for the windshield. All this only obtainable at iService Centers charging double the already pricey rates for labor and parts.

Staffed by cool looking peeps with no clue what the company that hires them is selling. No, thanks.

Also, you battery range would be halved every 6 months and the car would exhibit limited functionality as times go by, forcing you to buy a new one every year or so.

Elon doesn't really like working WITH some other company. The odds of his working FOR some other company? Nil. Nada. Nope.

That ship sailed a few years ago. People need to give up on this fantasy that no longer makes sense anyway.

Apple IS going to spend their wad on a very large acquisition or two, no doubt. But it won't be Tesla. They missed their chance.

1. Apple only acquires bargains, Tesla is no bargain with a higher market cap than GM
2. Elon Musk would never want to run Apple, his interests are elsewhere in a galaxy far, far away...

Apple stopped innovating 10years ago, they are basically an evil parent troll.
Elon, on the other hand, stands for really innovative companies.
