Not long ago, Musk sent a message thanking Cook for inviting him to visit Apple's headquarters, saying that the two sides had cleared up misunderstandings and that Apple had resumed advertising on Twitter.
In fact, a biographer excavated that a few years ago, Musk and Cook had a phone call about selling Tesla to Apple. Musk was willing to sell it cheaply at the market value of Tesla at that time, but only on condition that he kept his CEO position. As a result, Cook scolded after hearing this, and then hung up the phone.
According to what Musk shared on social media in 2020, the idea of a sale came during the darkest days of the Model 3 project (2017 and 2018), but Cook declined the opportunity to meet and discuss it in detail.
Wall Street calculates that Cook's decision to reject Musk cost Apple at least $640 billion (4.4 trillion yuan) in wealth.
But sometimes things are so amazing that Musk finally took Tesla out of the mud and turned over completely.
