“One of the top designers in the world and the leader in electric car technology were spotted engrossed in private conversation this past Sunday at an exclusive Academy Awards afterparty,” AppleInsider reports.
“A source tells AppleInsider that both Jony Ive, Apple’s famed designer, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk were among the attendees at Madonna’s A-list Oscar afterparty on Sunday — an extremely exclusive event where all press and photography are strictly prohibited,” AppleInsider reports. “Ive and Musk were observed speaking “really close” and ‘basically inseparable’ from each other for a period that seemed to stretch on for roughly 30 minutes, this person said.”

What two people, of particular fame, can’t hold a 30 minute conversation without everyone calling it something?
It’s a 30 minute conversation. I can talk about my kids for 30 minutes. They very well might have been sharing car enthusiasm. Maybe they were talking about the Daytona 500.
Show some respect. (not you though you’re okay.)
Ha!
You’re absolutely right, but the weren’t talking about the Daytona 500.
Well it was the first thing that came to mind. I would gather after a little thought, F1 formula racing. 😀
Probably intimately immersed in their mutual love and respect for the Sinclair C5.
Apple is DOOMED!
Electrifying news!
Switch off until I see a product.
Who’s pouching who? I wonder how large of signing bonuses they were offering each other.
That sounds faintly illegal
Poaching! Poaching! Not that other thing you said.
Apple is doomed. It’s well known that Ive likes cars. He’s going to Tesla!
Ha, I didn’t realize I typed pouching.
I had to google my mistake and urban dictionary gave me a good laugh on what pouching is.
Wow! They had a 30 minute conversation. Wow!
A whole 30 minutes! They must have laid out the entire plan for world domination in that amazing timeframe.
Why not. “Pinky and The Brain” did it everyday for 30 minutes.
Who else was he gonna talk to, Tom Cruz?
“So, you wanna design fast shiny things that go from 0-60 in 3 seconds, or do you wanna keep designing sugary Hello Kitty watch bands for the rest of your life?”
Bit harsh on Elon don’t you think.
Tech reporting is getting closer and closer to celebrity gossip columns all the time. First, Apple’s bold move into fashion, and now all this auto buzz. Media darlings Musk and Ive were seen hobnobbing at Madonna’s gala, one of them sporting a very loud four-in-hand, jingling a glittery fob and sketching on a linen napkin as his pal looked on, a knight in white satin murmuring design suggestions. Too chummy! Fly on the wall, what. That napkin might repay close inspection..
“Hey Jonny, how would you like to design a Mars ship…?”
“And a Mars hab for my wife and I…”
How long does it take to offer Jony a ton of money? And for Jony to say “no.”
They were try to avoid Madonna.
So Jony Ive now wants to establish his credentials as a degenerate. Great.
??? By going to a party?
No, by going to Madonna’s party. She is a degenerate.
Kent, do you have anything positive to say about anyone? Douche.
Yes. Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Angelo Codevilla, Steve Jobs, Chet Atkins, Aristotle, Brooks Robinson, Clint Eastwood, Ben Curtis, Margaret Thatcher, Donald Rumsfeld, Phyllis Schlaffley, Phil Robertson, Kate Smith, Ray Stevens, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Ted Nugent, Barronelle Stutzman, Lloyd Marcus, Johnny Unitas, Bobby Knight, Woody Hayes, Scott Walker, Merle Haggard, John Adams, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Alistair Begg, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Jon Voight, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Vince Gilligan, Vince Flynn, Nelson Demille, Andrew Carnegie, Ayn Rand, Ronald Reagan.
I just don’t care for talentless, American hating icons like Madonna and the Kardashians, Kanye West, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, Jane Fonda, Sean Penn, Michael Moore, Chris Matthews, any Rapper, Elizabeth Warren, Bill Clinton, Oprah, Harry Reid, the founder of NAMBLA and all its members, Daniel Schorr, Pete Seeger, Neil Young, Cher.
I like people who like freedom. I don’t like people who don’t like the Constitution and letting others live freely. I don’t like any of todays Democrats. They are all corrupt thugs. And so are their voters.
Please, get Jobs, Lincoln, and the Founding Fathers far away from that top list! It reads like a Teabagger or American Taliban dream party guest list. Or like a pit of snakes, who are also xenophobic and support corrupt plutocrats. Tim Cook needs to call an airlift, to get Jobs and the other respectable people out of there!
Wondering, which of your two lists would you put MLK or Turing on. Are they heroes or degenerates?
A couple centuries ago, you’d be telling us to courtesy to King George and that Ben Franklin was a degenerate.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall. I wonder, was the exchange that of collaboration or, tension and suspicion? Or where they just talking about all the hot women at the event?
I heard Madonna fell hard for BOTH of them….

Scumbag stuff on MDN again? Auto pop up window on three separate stories – a blank black box saying rotate your device.
WTF
At least Joni has a pretty and sweet looking wife. That makes him seem a bit more “human”…
Tim Cook is a “wife.”
Only when he’s at home.
Now I see why Apple is working on the iCar. Jonny wanted to go to Tesla to design cars. TC stopped it by letting him work on iCar.
It’s great to see super designers carousing at parties. But why go to a Madonna party? So you can pick up the latest strain of herpes? I cringe.
I thought that an erudite guy like you would know a condom when he saw one.
As I inferred, there are various kinds of herpes. Therefore, I would not recommend kissing Madonna anywhere, up or down. I find her that disturbing.
