This site is pretty good at sniping comments that would pass a 'is this reddit quality?' discriminator on generic NLP but I think the underlying idea is interesting under the context of 'what now brown cow?' Elon Musk has done his job getting EVs kickstarted. I suspect he's happy to move along and work on tunnels and rockets. Tesla principally needs some capital security, some quality tech managers and bench, and some just plain maturity in investor relations. The two would do pretty well in brand alignment in general. Apple needs, on a shareholder concern basis, to find markets of large enough size to matter, and Tesla has its toes in some extremely large markets. Anyway that's the hypothesis for those that want to ponder 'how does Apple do something other than make iPhones'. Thanks for the downvotes anyway, bots.
