The discord between Musk and Apple dates back to December 2020 when Musk revealed that Tim Cook had declined a meeting to discuss a potential acquisition of Tesla during a challenging period for the electric vehicle manufacturer. Since then, Musk has often criticized Apple’s innovation, claiming that it has stagnated since the death of its co-founder, Steve Jobs. He has accused Apple of prioritizing profits over quality, stating that its engineers no longer focus on delivering groundbreaking technology.
