Heil Heil the space Nazi!
I’m assuming doing so will make it more difficult to Nationalize when the time eventually comes.
He should focus on merging human decency into his personality.
Musks old tricks aren’t working like they used to and the walls are closing in on him for Tesla.
The latest Roadster demo is a sign that he’s relying more and more on theatrics to sell cars. Ten years ago you could kind of buy that he would have full autonomous driving at some point. Other car companies are far more advanced than him and the Chinese’s are eating his lunch on electric vehicles and beating him in every market but the US.
He pivoted Tesla to robotics and self driving taxis but other companies are ahead of him there as well and he knows it.
He doesn’t have any tech to set Tesla apart and justify its grossly overpriced stock.
He wants to roll it under Space X to ride the only two advantages he has left Starlink and Rockets.
He knows the US government under any administration won’t let either of those two go belly up and wants to link them with his other failed or failing companies.
Probably also wants to merge it with Tesla to somehow trial space shuttle tech. I’m not sure how it relates but I think I read that somewhere before and it had real examples of how Tesla helped space x
He has total control of SpaceX - he made it so “investors” have no ability to override any of his decisions.
He doesn’t have full control over Tesla, because he’s not a majority shareholder, and the board can vote him out.
He wants SpaceX to buy Tesla so he can have 100% control over all of it. I would place a pretty substantial bet that he buys Tesla with the same “non-voting” SpaceX shares that he sold to retail investors during the IPO.
I mean, he self funded it with something like 180 million dollars. He didnt have to take huge amounts of investors money before that 180 million was worth a shit ton more, and he had launch contracts with NASA to generate income.
So he made it, by building a successful company with his own money and then getting investors to take a small % of his ownership and they were seemingly happy to do it
Edit: really, this is every founders dream. Bringing in investors has so many strings attached and he was able to build something where he could significantly limit that. If you can bootstrap your business you’ll be better off in the long run.
If they are all one company how will he buy his own vehicles with his other company to inflate numbers?
He’ll spin off another company and then merge it back in after a few years. Rinse and repeat to hide how bad the financials are/evade taxes/commit fraud
Shell game is running out of moves
SpaceX has been largely successful, despite Musk, because of Gwynne Shotwell. So Musk shoved X (which he led directly and was falling) into xAI (which was basically failing because it’s bad AI) and then shoved that into SpaceX.
That didn’t fail, but Tesla (which Musk leads directly) is now failing, too. So hey, let’s do what worked before.
Honestly, I’m surprised he hasn’t dumped The Boring Company on her yet.
Once read that SpaceX was so successful because they had specific strategies to distract Musk and keep his hands of the real operational stuff.
If he merges everything, it makes me wonder if he wants to get more involved and ruin the company completely.
Tesla and/or SpaceX/Grox are probably looking like Wile e. Coyote four strides past the cliff edge. Keep slamming companies together to hide the loss to earnings and make the stock value go up. Got to keep the trillionaire status and make sure he can leave someone else holding the bag.
The main product of SpaceX is corruption, they also have a side-business in rocketry.
Tesla is a publicity stunt company that occasionally sells cars. It seems natural to merge the two.
See this is exactly why it was such a bitch to get the legal rights to use that name in the branding. Teslas family did not want to be associated with this shit and knew goddamn well that people who would market that name would use be exactly like this.

How so? I’m genuinely curious, don’t know much about it, also not US-American
Musk used his informal position in Trump’s admin to both cut funding to NASA and to direct contracts to SpaceX, and to squash federal investigations into his companies including SpaceX.
Trump authored policy that was favorable to SpaceX and he and his family heavily invested in SpaceX right before announcing the policy.

Thanks for the summary!
Also look up how spacex was awarded the HLS contract for Artemis. It’s pure corruption and fraud (facilitated by Kathy Lueders), and helps explain why they’ve failed to deliver what NASA bought.
Fuck. He’s doing the hand thing. That’s bad for everyone.
Not as bad as his other hand thing, but yeah, pretty bad.
Let me guess, a merger helps Musk hit profitability targets that adds another few hundred billion to his total compensation, while increasing his control?
And decreasing the usefulness of each input company
Wrong, $1 trillion pay package.
Sorry, I keep forgetting - the right process is, imagine the worst possible pay package that Musk could realistically get, and then add a zero.
No, it’s literally so he can say he is the founder once and for all.
He just wants to keep rolling the dice on his poor decisions until it pays off. I guess absorbing Tesla into the one “successful” IPO will hide the losses and leave the investors holding the bag.
How can you be in talks to merge with yourself?
(I’m referring to Elon not the company. I know they have their own president and board)
He’d probably have to abstain due to conflict of interest?
All will become X. Like a butthole.
A butthole full of shit.
From X to *. Like a puckered asshole. How long until it’s named AsterX?
