<p>Mr Musk said he contacted Mr Cook “to discuss the possibility of Apple acquiring Tesla (for one-tenth of our current value). He refused to take the meeting”.</p>
<p>Tesla’s market value is $616 billion (€505 billion), as of the close of trading on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Mr Musk said he sought out the meeting with the Apple chief executive “during the darkest days of the Model 3 program”, a reference to Tesla’s first electric car designed for the mass market.</p>

<p>&#8211; Tesla already uses iron-phosphate for medium range cars made in our Shanghai factory.</p>
<p>&#8211; A monocell is electrochemically impossible, as max voltage is ~100X too low. Maybe they meant cells bonded together, like our structural battery pack?</p>

<p>As recently as 2018, Tesla was struggling to meet its vehicle production goals and turn a profit.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Tesla’s fortunes have changed since then and the car manufacturer is finally making money on a consistent basis after years of losses and continues to hit milestones for deliveries of its vehicles.</p>
<p>Its shares have soared 665 per cent this year alone, making it the world’s most valuable automaker and among the top 10 biggest US companies in the S&;P 500 index, which Tesla entered on Monday.</p>
<p>Mr Musk’s tweet followed published reports suggesting Apple is working on developing its own electric cars, but Apple declined to comment.</p>
