""They have hired people we've fired," Musk told German newspaper Handelsblatt. "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.""
""Did you ever take a look at the Apple Watch?" Musk said. "No, seriously: It's good that Apple is moving and investing in this direction. But cars are very complex compared to phones or smartwatches. You can't just go to a supplier like Foxconn and say: Build me a car.""
Elon Musk has a long history of public criticism of Apple, beginning in 2015 when he joked that Apple hired employees Tesla had fired. He labeled Apple the 'Tesla Graveyard' and suggested that workers who do not succeed at Tesla often end up at Apple. Musk questioned Apple's ability to build cars, arguing that vehicles are far more complex than phones or smartwatches and cannot simply be outsourced to suppliers like Foxconn. This week Musk's companies X and xAI filed lawsuits against Apple and OpenAI alleging monopolistic behavior. The relationship has fluctuated, including moments of apparent rapprochement such as an HQ visit.
