Apple is the "Tesla graveyard" where failed employees go to work
Elon Musk shrugged off fears about Apple being a new competitor and said that any Tesla employees it had hired were not important.
"They have hired people we've fired. We always jokingly call Apple the 'Tesla Graveyard'. If you don't make it at Tesla, you go work at Apple. I'm not kidding,"
"No, seriously: It's good that Apple is moving and investing in this direction. But cars are very complex compared to phones or smartwatches. You can't just go to a supplier like Foxconn and say: Build me a car."
Musk however admitted that a car would make sense for Apple.
"But for Apple, the car is the next logical thing to finally offer a significant innovation. A new pencil or a bigger iPad alone were not relevant enough," Musk said.
