Elon Musk: Apple Is a 'Tesla Graveyard'
- 9 years ago
In a recent interview with Germany's Handelsblatt newspaper, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had some strong words for Apple.
So, when asked whether Apple's move to hire "some of Tesla's most important engineers" worries Musk, he basically laughed in the reporter's face.
Cupertino reportedly offers $250,000 signing bonuses and 60 percent salary increases to Tesla employees who join Apple.
Despite their differences, talk of a possible merger or partnership continues, most recently during Apple's annual meeting in March, when two shareholders asked about an acquisition.
"It's good that Apple is moving and investing in this direction," Musk said about Cupertino's rumored electric car , known internally as Project Titan.
