Apple Ends Electric Car Project After Years of Work; Musk Reacts with Skepticism
• Apple is ending its electric vehicle project after over a decade of work, axing the Apple Car.
• Tesla CEO Elon Musk reacted by posting a saluting emoji and "The natural state of a car company is dead" in response.
• Many Apple employees who worked on the project will transfer to other divisions like AI, but some engineers and designers may be laid off.
• Musk has previously been skeptical of tech companies like Apple entering auto manufacturing given the complexity.
• In 2015, Musk even jokingly referred to Apple as a "Tesla Graveyard" where Tesla employees go next.
