They work well with their corporate philosphy,if they ever had one, just as much as Beats did. For instance, American Express cards, Apple(Tesla) cars, Nvidia(for gpu and AI purposes). SpaceX? Just because it's such an innovative company which could rule space exploration and global hyper fast travel (with their rocket travel concept) one day. Basically making everything from your phone, to your credit card and car, to your travel means serviced by Apple. They would not be a trillion dollar company, but several trillions.

All those would add tremendously to the Apple brand. And I'd make Elon Musk the CEO of Apple, if he so desired.

And yeah, basically the only thing that would be missing is ruling the living room, which could be fixed with a TV and console.

Tesla is the only one that makes some sense for Apple, but even then, Apple might be better served spending 80 billion dollars to develop an equivalent if they absolutely want to make cars.

Nvidia is a "parts" company, similar to Samsung, in that it supplies chips to everyone. That is very un-Apple. Integrating AmEx into Apple is just creating a service Apple already offers - Apple Pay. It adds nothing to their ecosystem.

If you're after trillion dollar companies, Apple will be the first, but if you're after multitrillion dollar companies, I'd look to Amazon, Google, Alibaba (out of currently know ones).

Makes more sense to buy Tesla than spend the R&D to start from scratch. Tesla has brand name, makes kickass cars, has kickass batteries and technology already. Tesla would be a great fit and with Apple's money would scale them up to where they wanna be at.

Nvidia would be a great fit, but then again Apple's own CPU design since the last few years is catching up to Intels, they could make the same improvements for GPU so yeah, maybe not the strongest suggestion.

Apple Pay isn't available in many places, I'd integrate AmEx with Apple Pay, this is an interesting article: https://9to5mac.com/2016/06/21/apple-acquire-american-express-to-grow-apple-pay/

AmEx also has a great rewards program, which could tie in well with their other divisions.

These are premium brands just like Apple, and could outlive the smartphone business. Apple should prepare itself if the future isn't with idevices.
