    I could see either of these things happening:

    • Musk pouts and (laughably) threatens to build a better Apple.
    • Musk says he’ll buy Apple. Fails hilariously.

      You do realize Elon and Steve Jobs share more traits than don’t? If he owned Apple it would actually work pretty well I’d think. Ignoring the fact it’s way too expensive for him.

        Haha I have no love for Apple but musk would immediately tank it. His first decree on day one as ceo would be that all apps in the apple store would have to make fart noises when you open them

          Honestly they would likely manage the same.

          Both are obsessed about micromanaging every aspect of the device.

          Both work their staff to death and expect the impossible.

          Both create a company that is a brand. That is, there are better products out there, but people will pay a premium just to say they own an Apple device/Tesla.

          It’s actually extremely logical/a great fit.

          If you read their biographies instead of just idol worshipping Jobs I think you’d understand a bit better.

          Seems like people just want to think Jobs wasn’t a piece of shit when he definitely was.
