Another day, another Apple Inc. AAPL rumor.
This one involves Tesla Motors Inc TSLA.
According to Chinese news site 21so.com, Apple is thought to be making an investment in Tesla. A translated version of the story claims "Apple intends to invest in Tesla."
While investors have a right to be skeptical, the electric vehicle maker's shares have responded. Tesla rose as high as 2.9 percent in Thursday morning trading.
So, are people seriously considering this rumor?
Twitter may provide some insight.
