The automotive and technology worlds may be wondering if Apple is truly pursuing an electric car, but Elon Musk is not. The Tesla CEO told the BBC that it is an "open secret" that the Cupertino i-product company will be making an electrically powered vehicle to rival Musk's growing fleet of offerings. "It's pretty hard to hide something if you hire over a thousand engineers to do it," he said. And, he added, bring it on. "It will expand the industry," Musk told the British media outlet Monday. "Tesla will still aspire to make the most compelling electric vehicles, and that would be our goal, while at the same time helping other companies to make electric cars as well." Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr said the company had "no comment" on Musk's statement. Apple CEO Tim Cook has deflected the question when asked about automobile manufacturing.
