Elon Musk throws shade at Apple

October 9, 2015 by Paul Spoerry 7 Comments



Elon Musk: “If you don’t make it at Tesla, you go work at Apple” | Ars Technica
Apple is apparently the “Tesla Graveyard.”

"If you don’t make it at Tesla, you go work at Apple. I’m not kidding."

"In response to claims that Apple is poaching key members of Tesla staff to work on its long-rumoured self-driving car project, Musk joked: "Important engineers? 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."

The sick burns continued when Musk was asked if he took Apple seriously as a competitor in the automotive market. "Did you ever take a look at the Apple Watch?" he laughed, as if the seamless stainless steel construction and hand-crafted leather bands of Apple's latest i-thing were nothing to him. "No, seriously: it’s good that Apple is moving and investing in this direction," he added. "But cars are very complex compared to phones or smart watches. You can’t just go to a supplier like Foxconn and say: 'Build me a car.'"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Eh their tier two in the OS category for me as well (so that's two things!). No matter how many times I try it OSX just doesn't agree with me.

    Didn't we already prove that a closed proprietary environment model where hardware and software are both maintained and sold by one company is unsustainable? Apple did not stay on top when it came to the Personal Computer. Android is an excellent example of history repeating itself while Apple continues to fail to learn from its greed motivated, past mistakes.

    I think in the long term that will hold true… but you can't ignore the fact that Apple is making dolla dolla bills ya'll like mad right now.

    +Paul Spoerry I agree. These dolla bills are helping to pay for lawyers whose goal is to kill off the competition. When Apple falls short in areas of "innovation" they resort to "litigation". They are definitely not a company that wants the world to "Think Differently" when doing so means not thinking the Apple way.

    I still think everyones got the wrong end of the stick anyway. An electric car? possible. A in-car OS? certainly.
    But driverless? That needs a huge amount of testing. Its not something that can be done in secret. Its also not Apples style. Apple tends to take existing tech a package it into a premium designer shell.
