There's a lot up in the air right now

Have to admit it's good timing... I know a while back crucible had a patent involving batteries and Apple, but could there be a connection? I guess the bigger question for me is if Apple has much in terms of connections with Tesla or not. Tesla a while back was willing to share their patents related to electric cars etc, but that wasn't specifically Apple. Now if there were a connection, Tesla would be the automotive industry not consumer electronics. There was a conference call a few years ago when there was speculation of Apple working with Tesla, or if they were designing their own car. Someone on the call asked Steipp if they were to incorporate LQMT into the vehicle if LQMT would stand to make any money since it wasn't wasn't consumer electronics as the agreement states.... Steipp in usual dodge and roll fashion played dumb, didn't comment, and instead said they never thought about it before. But wouldn't that be a pretty crucial part of going over contracts contemplating if something is done outside the specific industry your singing rights over to? Or was LQMT willing to sign anything for a little money? Anyway long sorry short I could see some similarities and coincidences to the two following articles (timing aside):
