An Apple-Tesla Deal?

[Guest]

Apple shareholders have a suggestion for how to use the company’s $178 billion in cash: buy Tesla.

 

At Apple’s shareholder meeting on Tuesday, two investors asked Chief Executive Tim Cook about the possibility of Apple buying the electric-vehicle manufacturer. Cook ducked the question each time.

 

The questions about Tesla come amid reports that Apple has assembled several hundred employees to work on an electric car of its own. The project is in its early stages and Apple may not move forward with the plan, but the company has assigned some top-level employees to the project, The Wall Street Journal reported last month.

 

Shareholder interest in Tesla became a focus of the otherwise uneventful meeting, where seven Apple directors were easily re-elected and shareholders voted with management on all proposals.

 

During a question-and-answer session with Cook, one shareholder asked about the company’s relationship with Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk, punctuating his question with: “Quite frankly, I’d like to see you buy Tesla.”

 

Cook said Apple doesn’t have a relationship with Tesla. He said he wished that Tesla would join other automakers in using CarPlay, Apple’s in-car efforts to bring the iPhone to the dashboard. He capped his answer by saying: “Was that a good way to avoid the question?”

 

A few minutes later, a second shareholder said he loves his Tesla Model S sedan as much as his Apple products. “Am I insane to think something might happen here?” he asked. Cook laughed, then said, “Let me think if there is another way for me to give a non-answer.”
