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.

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.

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.

Heil Heil the space Nazi!

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.

Fuck. He's doing the hand thing. That's bad for everyone.

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.

Let me guess, a merger helps Musk hit profitability targets that adds another few hundred billion to his total compensation, while increasing his control?

He should focus on merging human decency into his personality.

All will become X. Like a butthole.

A butthole full of shit.

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.

If they are all one company how will he buy his own vehicles with his other company to inflate numbers?

What happens when he runs out if companies to merge and the whole house of cards comes down?

Shell game is running out of moves

I'm assuming doing so will make it more difficult to Nationalize when the time eventually comes.

I believe American taxpayers should prepare to bail out the resulting company. Soon. With mountains of money.

I'm assuming the larger bottle next to him is the ketamine, what's in the smaller one?

I can't wait to see what Elon can do for Tesla with the extra budget from rolling it into SpaceX.

Imagine how many amazing new promises and forecasts can be made and broken.

The outlook of Tesla isn't great, so it is a perfect fit for SpaceX+xAI. All the brand new models are burning trash heaps, there are two cash cow models increasingly aging, even with the face lifts. It makes sense to consolidate everything into one big grift conglomerate.

He lives only because you allow it

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)

I predicted this when they had all their cars flying and shit. Its an advertisment for spacex while distracting from the car that theyre half a decade late to releasing.

Oh, because they're worthless on their own? Noooo, that can't be
