Moving Bits vs Pounds
In an interview with Bloomberg, Apple (AAPL) Co-founder Steve Wozniak suggested that perhaps Tesla would be the originator of the next big thing in tech as opposed to a large tech company like Apple.
This is laughable. With all due respect to Woz, Tesla specializes in moving people and things. Apple, Google, Facebook etc are truly tech pioneering companies that specialize in moving data and connecting people in new ways. Big difference.

Expecting the next big thing from Tesla is like expecting horse breeders to design flying cars. It’s not going to happen because they are both steeped in the past.
For all intents and purposes, Tesla is still in the business of refining the horse drawn wagon or locomotive. Both the Model T and the Model S still accomplish the same goal of moving you from your house to work. “Model S” is such a fitting name.
If the next big thing doesn't come from Apple, it'll be a company that specializes in moving bits, not pounds.
