Elon Musk Just Opened the “Merge Companies” Menu and Started Clicking Randomly

“...he got an idea. An awful idea. The Grinch Elon had a wonderful, awful idea.” 

In case you were too busy trying to impersonate an Owl on TikTok last night, Daddy Elon has decided the separation between his companies has gone on long enough. According to people who definitely signed NDAs they regret, SpaceX, xAI, and possibly Tesla are all in various stages of “what if we just mashed this together?” Meaning, this is either the most Elon idea ever… or the last one before the simulation crashes.

For instance, in one scenario, SpaceX and xAI combine before SpaceX goes public. Which is insane, but also very on-brand. That would put rockets, satellites, Grok, data centers, and the app formerly known as Twitter under one giant umbrella company that absolutely will not be incorporated in Delaware.

Quick reminder of the math here: 

• SpaceX: ~$800B valuation
   
• xAI: ~$230B valuation
   
• Elon’s confidence level: unquantifiable

This is how you end up with AI data centers in orbit, Grok answering questions from space, and Starlink beaming hot takes directly into your skull. Is that useful? Debatable. Is it very Elon? Unfortunately, yes. Also worth noting: SpaceX already dropped $2B into xAI, and Tesla did the same. So this isn’t some random fever dream. This is more like a clusterf*ck just waiting for regulators to blink. 

That said, the other path is SpaceX merging with Tesla. Which is where things go from “lol” to “call your lawyer.” Tesla is public. That means shareholders. That means votes. That means Elon doing a roadshow explaining why your car company should be spiritually aligned with Mars colonization and orbital compute. The pitch would by “synergy”, obviously. Energy storage meets data centers… vehicles meet rockets… and Starman finally gets a friend.

But Y Tho?

Good question. Elon has been quietly consolidating his empire for a while. xAI already absorbed X. Tesla and SpaceX are funding xAI. New merger shell companies just popped up in Nevada (normal behavior). Whereas now, Elon wants fewer walls between compute, data, distribution, and whatever the hell he’s building instead of having another dozen kids with God knows who. 

But, but, but… this only works because SpaceX is private, wildly successful, and basically untouchable right now. Elon has leverage. He has capital. He has momentum. And he has a track record of doing things that sound stupid until they don’t. However, the timeline risk is undefeated.  SpaceX going public in June? Sure. A clean merger? Maybe. Everything happening on schedule? Absolutely not. But the fact this is even being discussed tells you everything you need to know.

Elon isn’t building companies anymore. He’s trying to build one system… and the border are getting thinner by the day. Whether that ends in Mars, monopoly hearings, or a new SEC acronym… we’ll find out soon enough. Until next time, friends…
