Tesla, the Great Sandworm of Apple's Innovation Desert?



Reports began last week that Elon Musk spent a day meeting with Apple executives, and the interwebs went nuts.

Tesla!

Apple!

You have your Tesla in my Apple.

Get your iTesla off my Lawn!

My take is the sale does not seem likely. Unless Musk can get something major out of the deal. Remember Tesla was not started to sell cars, it was started to disrupt the status quo in the auto industry. A success, I would say.

Tesla is not Musk's baby, taking humanity to Mars is.

If Apple can offer a pile of money AND sign on as the the first corporate sponsor? Then it is a possibility.
