Not going to happen, he's got far too many plates spinning and some are starting to fall down, he should seriously unload some of these monkeys off his shoulder and get his attention back to delivering some of the other promises he has outstanding (cybertruck, semi, starship etc..) before adding more to his to-do list

Two can play that game.

Apple has put lots of resources into designing a better car, possibly a self-driving car. Previously, building a car was a huge undertaking that dwarfed anything Apple had done. I think Apple backed away from building a car for that reason, but the entry into building electric cars is much lower. That makes an Apple electric car much more practical. Musk's huge ego may get him into a fight he can't win.

That's a lot of effort. If they really want to, they'd probably just dick around with Twitter's app more, that's easier and will hurt quicker.

"...the entry into building electric cars is much lower [than smartphones?]."

"That makes an Apple electric car much more practical [than a Tesla smartphone?]."

This reads like AI babble. Smart Phones seem far simpler than Electric Cars, and subject to fewer costly regulations. And Apple cars do not exist; Can they be said to be "practical" at all?
