Big news dropped this week that got me thinking about where Elon Musk’s really headed with all this…
SpaceX just acquired xAI — which means the X platform, aka Twitter, and Grok AI are now under the SpaceX umbrella. That puts the company’s valuation at $1.25 trillion, landing it in the top 10 most valuable companies worldwide, right near Tesla’s current valuation.
So here’s the question I’m mulling over: Are we looking at another merger down the road? Could SpaceX and Tesla eventually combine? I don’t have a crystal ball, but the pieces sure seem to be moving in an interesting direction.
The IPO That Isn’t Really an IPO
Everyone keeps talking about a trillion‑dollar SpaceX IPO, but the reality is far simpler. They’re looking at raising maybe $50 billion by selling some stock. The valuation and the capital raised are two very different things.
A company can be worth over a trillion dollars without putting anywhere near that amount of stock on the market. That distinction gets lost in the hype, but it matters for understanding what’s actually happening.
There’s also the question of whether an IPO even aligns with what Musk wants. He’s been openly frustrated with Tesla’s corporate bylaw structure, which has tied his hands more than once.
That frustration could factor into future strategic decisions, including whether Tesla ends up merging into SpaceX instead of the other way around. It would require shareholder approval, but it’s not an outrageous possibility given his long‑term goals.
Why Vertical Integration Changes Everything
We’re in a hot moment for consolidation, mergers and acquisitions. And when you look at this through the lens of vertical integration, the strategy becomes clearer.
Bringing platforms, AI, robotics and physical infrastructure under one roof makes the overall system more resilient and less vulnerable to monopoly scrutiny.
Regulators tend to focus on horizontal dominance, not integrated ecosystems working toward a unified mission.
I’ve said for a while that the robot cars, the humanoid robots, the AI and the internet platform are all part of the same grand plan. These aren’t isolated bets. They’re pieces of a larger system designed to work together — from autonomous mobility to intelligent agents to global connectivity.
Even the Boring Company fits into this vision. Tunneling here on Earth is likely practice for connecting habitats on Mars, where surface conditions aren’t exactly friendly for everyday travel. Underground networks could very well be part of the long‑term blueprint.
It’s bold. It’s ambitious. And whether it all comes together or not, it’s fascinating to watch unfold in real time.

P.S. Why Smart Traders Keep Close Tabs on the CBOE
Stalking the CBOE will always be a net positive.
I keep my eyes peeled for updates, adjustments, and new developments because with each change, there’s opportunity.
For example: Thanks to this simple document…
I’ve been using an options-trading algorithm that’s completely altered how I approach the markets…
This algorithm finds opportunities for 50% gains — or more — in just 60 minutes…
And not just once a day but up to 10 TIMES EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Granted, there were smaller wins and those that did not work out, but this isn’t a one-off occurrence. It’s what I’ve been seeing consistently for months.
The secret? Focusing on just three tickers at a time.
These options are so sensitive to price changes that even tiny moves can lead to significant gains.
And while I can’t promise future returns or against losses, I’ve put together a short rundown of how you can start using them to take advantage of these tiny shifts in the market.
