Is Apple Tesla’s Graveyard?

Jul 31, 2021 9 Comments

On Tuesday, Musk turned an ordinarily dull earnings call for Tesla’s Q2 into a popcorn-and-white-wine event when he attacked Apple not once but twice. One of those moments:

“Our goal is to support the advent of sustainable energy,” Musk said. “It is not to create a walled garden and use that to bludgeon our competitors, which is sometimes used by some companies.” And then he, and we can’t make this up, fake coughed and said “Apple” like a middle school student interrupting class.

Musk also called Apple a “Tesla graveyard” where employees who couldn’t hack it at his company ended up.

    Musk is that kid who was told one too many times he was a genius. He eventually believed it and stopped using his brain.

      It fucking worked though.

      A *Windows developer* who lucked out when Peter Thiel bought his website in the dotcom boom became one of the world's richest men.

      Donald Trump as well. They read the self help book power of positive thinking and decided yes I can do it, who needs brain cells, and nobody's going to stop them.

      Seems like all you need in life is sheer chutzpah, and being a white male.

    Tesla can literally turn off your car’s supercharging feature remotely if they find out you’ve attempted to repair your Tesla without going to them. If that’s not a walled garden I don’t know what is. I respect Elon for his vision but this is hypocritical bs.

    The second part suggests he is salty.
