As if Elon Musk isn't running enough companies, he once may have suggested taking over as CEO of America's most valuable business, Apple.

Five years ago, in the midst of manufacturing delays and other issues plaguing Tesla's planned Model 3 launch, Musk is said to have had a phone call with Tim Cook during which the Apple CEO proposed buying Tesla. Musk said he'd do it, but on one condition:"I'm CEO." It reportedly took Cook a moment to realize Musk meant taking his job.

"Cook & I have never spoken or written to each other ever," Musk said, adding that he had once requested a meeting with Cook to discuss Apple buying Tesla, but that it didn't happen and"there were no conditions of acquisition proposed whatsoever." "This anecdote comes from Musk's own account of the conversation, according to people who heard the retelling at the time," Higgins tweeted.
