Apple and Tesla agree? Some shareholders have expressed their wishes.

Apple shareholders have a suggestion on how to use the company $ 178 billion in cash: just buy Tesla.

At Apple’s shareholders meeting on Tuesday, two investors asked Tim Cook about the possibility of buying a manufacturer of electric cars. To which he preferred to evade the answer.

The question of buying Tesla appeared for a reason, and amid reports that Apple has recruited several hundred of the relevant specialists to produce electric cars under its own brand. This project is at a very early stage and Apple highlights some extremely high-level employees for its implementation , as the Wall Street Journal reported last month.

During the traditional question-answer session with Tim Cook, one of the shareholders asked about the relationship with Tesla's founder and CEO, Elon Mask, hinting at every convenient and uncomfortable event, about wanting to buy a carmaker. To which, Cook replied that Apple, while not in any way connected with Tesla, except CarPlay .

A few minutes later, the second shareholder announced that he liked his own Tesla Model S, almost as much as Apple products. To which Tim Cook laughed off: "Allow me, but it seems to me that I have another way of not answering such questions."

Also this meeting was the last for Millard Drexler, who resigned, and his post remains free for the time being.

And in the end, Tim Cook noted that Apple is trying to diversify its staff with all its might, and assured everyone of the most beautiful prospects for the company. What would surely be a merger with Tesla. Let's wait and see. As one unforgettable hero of the cartoon said there: “It’s not for nothing!”
