during the company's 'darkest days,' but Tim Cook
wouldn't take the meeting”
Key Point Takeaways
Elon Musk once wanted Apple to buy Tesla, but Tim Cook wouldn't meet
with him, the Tesla CEO tweeted on Tuesday.
Musk said that he reached out to the Apple CEO during the "darkest days"
of Tesla's Model 3 program, hoping to sell Tesla for a tenth of the
company's current value. "He refused to take the meeting," Musk tweeted.
A spokesperson for Apple did not immediately respond to Business
Insider's request for comment.
Musk was likely referring to a period in either 2016 or 2017 when Tesla
was working on the entry-level Model 3. Musk has described producing the
car as "production and logistics hell" and said that, at one point, Tesla was
a month away from bankruptcy.
