Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook, fresh from unveiling new details about the company’s first new device in five years, found himself facing shareholders eager for a marriage with Tesla Motors Inc.
“Quite frankly, I’d like to see you guys buy Tesla,” an investor told Cook on Tuesday at an annual meeting at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California. The comment was followed by laughter in the audience and some applause.
