Two can play that game.

Apple has put lots of resources into designing a better car, possibly a self-driving car. Previously, building a car was a huge undertaking that dwarfed anything Apple had done. I think Apple backed away from building a car for that reason, but the entry into building electric cars is much lower. That makes an Apple electric car much more practical. Musk's huge ego may get him into a fight he can't win.

"...the entry into building electric cars is much lower [than smartphones?]."

"That makes an Apple electric car much more practical [than a Tesla smartphone?]."

This reads like AI babble. Smart Phones seem far simpler than Electric Cars, and subject to fewer costly regulations. And Apple cars do not exist; Can they be said to be "practical" at all?

That's a lot of effort. If they really want to, they'd probably just dick around with Twitter's app more, that's easier and will hurt quicker.
