Elon Musk denies that Tim Cook ever cursed him out after a new book claims the Apple CEO hung up on him with a 'f--- you'
A new book reports that a testy phone call between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple boss Tim Cook ended abruptly with some not-so-kind words from the latter. Musk claims it never happened.
According to Tim Higgins'"Power Play: Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century," around 2016, as Tesla struggled to ramp up production of the Model 3 sedan, Musk and Cook spoke on the phone about Apple potentially acquiring the fledgling car startup. Musk was open to a deal, but he had one condition Cook couldn't stomach.
Musk wanted his job — he wanted to be CEO of Apple, Higgins reports, citing people familiar with Musk's version of events. that he wanted Apple to buy Tesla during the"darkest days of the Model 3 program," when he was sleeping on Tesla's factory floor as the company went through what he has called"manufacturing hell." But, according to Musk, Cook never agreed to a meeting.
"Cook & I have never spoken or written to each other ever. There was a point where I requested to meet with Cook to talk about Apple buying Tesla," Musk on Friday in response to the report."There were no conditions of acquisition proposed whatsoever. He refused to meet."
