So now that Tesla is clearly crashing, fold it into the more successful SpaceX and get to roll the dice again?

Classic Elon. This is the same thing that he did to rescue a failing Solar City by making it part of Tesla.

It takes a lot to get where Elon is. But it also takes a willingness to double down over and over again on big bets. And he himself will be the first to admit that the most likely outcome of his strategy was bankruptcy.

Well given dual class shares in SpaceX Elon will get full control of Tesla for free aside from all other benefits ...

Not sure why this didn't occur to me earlier. It's always been the play, and it's probably ALSO why many Tesla investors went along with this IPO. It gets him control of Tesla again without paying him all those shares and without the lawsuits (though if I'm honest any decent anti-trust regulator would prevent it so this will likely need to happen in the next two years (while little to no competent governance is allowed)

Seems very likely, related: https://electrek.co/2026/05/31/a-spacex-tesla-merger-could-t...

Elon is such an honorable person that he will end up not do it, and we will worship him for that.

I cannot tell if this is sarcasm or genuine. I am horrified that it could be either almost as much as I am by the fact that I can't tell.
