Ask HN: What are the chances of Apple buying Tesla or a majority stake in it?

I don't think so. The SSWF reached the holding threshold that required public disclosure, and while it helps Musk with the share price driven up by that disclosure, it doesn't seem to be the play he'd make.

I think those things are a long term thing, not so much "figured out" and finished. Also had they figured it out enough... we wouldn't be talking about Apple buying them.
