Richard Branson has said he’d welcome a merger with Apple, should Steve Jobs fancy it. He said of Jobs: “Everything he does is real class. If he wanted to rename his company Virgin Apple, we sure would be happy to merge! A great brand, a great company.”
Branson waxed lyrical about Apple in an interview with T3. He was gushing about Steve Jobs, but said that he didn’t know whether Apple would reign supreme in the future: “I think Steve Jobs…would be the entrepreneur I most admire,” said Branson. He’s the greatest comeback artist as well, he’s been down and out and fought his way back, and created a brilliant global company.
