Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has revealed that his company is after Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) employees.

The Tesla CEO claims that his company has already nabbed at least 150 employees from Apple. He said that the reason for going after these employees is that the two companies are “relatively closely aligned”  from a “design philosophy”, reports Bloomberg.

Apple employees that have jumped ship to join Tesla say their decision was based on the company’s CEO and its cars. Musk has been compared to late Apple founder Steve Jobs and his recruiters work to draw the same type of employees that Apple has. Apple is also reportedly trying to recruit from the car company, Bloomberg notes.

It’s possible Apple could be looking to build up its workforce with Tesla employees to help it create a self-driving car. Several vehicles that had cameras mounted on top of them were seen being driven around San Francisco recently.
