I'm curious which aspect(s) you find so improbable. Musk is a perfect fit to succeed Jobs, and Apple needs to make some major moves to stay ahead of Google and Samsung. I'd put the chance of Apple eventually acquiring Tesla in the tens of percents. Chance of Apple using LQMT at some point is 100%.
The rest is pure speculation, but my point is that LQMT having locked Apple out of non-CE use of their own co-developed patents with the MTA may eventually prove to be extremely valuable.
