Report: Tesla Has Hired More Workers From Apple Than Anyplace Else
Elon Musk's Tesla has hired more workers from Apple than anyplace else, according to a new report. So incase you wanted to work for Elon Musk, better get a job at Apple.
Bloomberg reported that so far the electric car manufacturer has hired around 150 Apple staffers.
However, story is exact opposite according to Musk - Tesla CEO and founder of SpaceX. Recently he was quoted saying that the Apple has been trying to attract Tesla employees, going so far as to offer $250,000 sign-on bonuses and 60% raises.
"Apple tries very hard to recruit from Tesla," Musk said. "But so far they've actually recruited very few people."
According to Mashable, one former Tesla employee said Musk is enamored with the Cupertino, California company and loves comparisons drawn between himself and late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs.
However according to Apple employees who switched to Tesla said they took the decision based on the cars being made by the company and Musk himself. Musk is known for his eccentricity and dramatic flair (i.e., he wants to fund a city on Mars).
