Product placement
Apple: ACTS - it is the company being discussed for acquisition. Removing it would fundamentally change the video's premise. Elon Musk: ACTS - he is the potential buyer, central to the narrative. Removing him would change the video's premise. Tesla: APPEARS - logo on Elon Musk's shirt. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
