Tesla CEO Elon Musk says he once considered selling the electric carmaker to Apple, but the iPhone maker’s CEO blew off the meeting. In a tweet, Musk says he reached out to Apple’s Tim Cook “to discuss the possibility of Apple acquiring Tesla (for one-tenth of our current value). He refused to take the meeting.” As recently as 2018, Tesla was struggling to meet its vehicle production goals and turn a profit. Tesla’s market value is currently $616-billion-dollars.
During the darkest days of the Model 3 program, I reached out to Tim Cook to discuss the possibility of Apple acquiring Tesla (for 1/10 of our current value). He refused to take the meeting.
