    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.

      Once read that SpaceX was so successful because they had specific strategies to distract Musk and keep his hands of the real operational stuff.

      If he merges everything, it makes me wonder if he wants to get more involved and ruin the company completely.
