Tesla CEO Elon Musk says fired employees go work for Apple

Elon Musk called Apple a "Tesla Graveyard" where his fired workers visit work.
The Tesla CEO, in a interview with German newspaper Handelsblatt, ignored the view that Apple hi res leading engineers from his business.
"If you do not make it at Tesla, you-go work on Apple," CEO said in the report printed Sept. 25. "I am maybe not kidding."
Apple apparently has set a target of finalizing a power vehicle by 20-19 and is hiring auto specialists considering that the outset of the entire year within an attempt to create an automatic-driving group.
When pressed on whether CEO took Apple's vehicle dreams seriously, Musk took another chance in the business: "Did you actually look at the Apple view?"
Musk said that even though it's "great" for Apple to spend money on vehicles, he warned that automobiles are a lot more complicated to create when weighed against the watches and telephones Apple constructs.
"You can not simply search for a provider like Foxconn and say, 'Build CEO a vehicle,'" Musk said. "But for Apple, the automobile is another sensible thing to eventually give you an important initiation. A fresh pencil or larger iPad alone are not important enough."
Apple declined to discuss Musk's comments.
Musk also criticized the German authorities for not doing enough to to aid the advancement of electrical automobiles.
"For an extremely big vehicle marketplace, Germany has the worst incentives for electrical automobiles," Musk said. "CEO believe the the federal government is listening too carefully to exactly what the large German auto makers say. And in the event the large German automakers are incorrect, then the improper thing occurs."
CEO criticized those auto makers as being "too old school" and maybe not accommodating to new engineering.
"They are not accepting the time to come yet," Musk said. "Germany should go to another stage of technology. The state was a leader in internal-combustion engineering. But when you cling to the earlier, you will not get to the futurity. It is time to begin assembling a basically new generation of automobiles."
Musk pointed to the Volkswagen diesel scandal as an indication the "limit of physics" continues to be reached on petrol and diesel.
"In buy to make improvement, they seemingly needed to cheat," Musk said. "CEO believe in case you deliberately mislead authorities all over the world with software that was made to just be successful in the check stand, this can be quite a conscious activity."
Musk said he will not believe Tesla will benefit from Volkswagen's woes.
"CEO do not believe anyone actually benefits from this type of scenario," he stated. "But the greatest thing that may come from it is a choice to left oil-based transport -- and for Volkswagen to make an extremely serious move toward freedom."
Musk said his aim of selling 300 autos weekly in Germany is nevertheless attainable, despite only marketing about 700 automobiles in the united states through the initial half of the entire year.
"A few hundred automobiles weekly is a small drop in the bucket for the German automobile marketplace," Musk stated. "But it's our aspiration to promote over 1 1,000 vehicles a month in Germany. Do CEO believe we'll make it happen? Yes."
Musk said he anticipates Tesla to be rewarding in 2016.
"But we would not slow-down our progress for the benefit of profitability," Musk said.
