This actually makes very good sense even if at the moment it is pure speculation. What is $10 billion for someone who paid $44 billion for Twittter/X? So merging the two will ultimately cost around $54billion. But it get him into the ever shrinking inner circle of the likely relected president of the USA. The ultimate game for Elon Musk is not Tesla. I feel is it his space projects, including Starlink. Controlling space has got value that is infinitely more than what anyone can imagine. The satellite business alone is mind-boggling.

  To be clear, I am still saying that at the moment Tesla is the all important money earner. And I am also saying that despite the good recent financial results for Tesla is encouraging, in the long run Tesla is losing ground to others like BYD. Elon Musk knows this. This is why he was talking up robots. But I feel it is the satellite business which has got greater money earning potential. And this is why be needs the support of a patron President.
