What do you want? Him to act in the shareholder's interest or something?

On the one hand, there's definitely some overlap between Tesla and SpaceX. Optimus, FSD, xAI, Orbital AI, Tesla Solar, Terafab, and so on. It genuinely does make sense.

On the other hand, large part of it is probably securing control of the company with super voting stocks.

Does this mean Telsa would get out of the S&P index, or that SpaceX would come in? Hope for the former.

This is a good question and I think it depends on who acquires who.

If we wants control and SpaceX acquires Tesla, then I think it drops out until there is profitability.

Don't be ridiculous. 4.

Thinking too small. With grandma's pension we can get to at least 5.

I guess these days the saying is "if you aim for Jupiter you land on Mars"

They relaxed the rules for SpaceX already, it's in almost immediately the IPO

Yeah I'm definitely questioning what synergies there are between Tesla and SpaceX. What do electric cars and rockets have in common? Are they going to me a rocket powered car? Put a Tesla on the moon?

The only thing I can think that makes any sense at all is Teslas coming with Starlink terminals built in. That seems like a stretch though.
