Founder Elon Musk says he once tried to sell his car firm to the Silicon Valley giant Andi.

It could have been a bargain with an asking price, 1/10 off its current value.

But he says Apple chief Tim Cook refused to take a meeting.

Musk claims the attempted sale came during the darkest days off the firm's Model three development.

Back in 2017 and 2018, Tessler was struggling to ramp up output off the mid priced Sudan.

At the time, Musk said it was in production.

Hell, however, Tesler overcame the troubles and has since racked up a Siri's off quarterly profits.

On Monday, it joined the S and P 500 becoming one of the most valuable companies in the benchmark stock index.

There was no comment on Musk's claims from Apple, but if true, the iPhone maker might now be ruing its decision.

Reuters this week reported that it's looking to produce an electric vehicle by 2024 using a new battery technology.

Buying Tesler might have bean a cheaper way to do it.

Musk has also cast doubt on claims made about Apple's new batteries in a tweet, he says, the so called mono cell system wouldn't be able to produce anywhere near enough power.
