In this paper we present an analysis of the possible equivalence of Dirac and Maxwell equations using the Clifford bundle formalism and compare it with Campolattaro's approach, which uses the traditional tensor calculus and the standard Dirac covariant spinor field. We show that Campolattaro's intricate calculations can be proved in few lines in our formalism. We briefly discuss the implications of our findings for the interpretation of quantum mechanics.
