Mfer could have had a fairly normal IPO with his one company that makes money (off lucrative & sketchy government contracts) but his entire fortune relies on a shell game: xAI (aka Grok) "acquired" X (aka the platform Grok is on) and was "acquired" in turn by SpaceX to hide their staggering losses.

The problem with that shell game, of course, is that the stink of X and xAI is too powerful to hide, especially given the extra scrutiny that public companies are subject to. So this merger has made SpaceX stinky too. After Musk inevitably rolls Tesla into SpaceX as well, it will get even stinkier.

Ok this is reminding me of that old episode of Top Gear when they tried to make a Reliant Robin into a reusable space shuttle….

Tesla *is* profitable, but very much in trouble. It can only juice sales by cutting prices, the Cybertruck continues to be a boondoggle, and its market share is down to 2017 levels. The high stock price is based entirely on wild promises of robotaxis and humanoid robots.
