Well surely this acquisition is above board. Nothing funny going on here, just good old business as usual.

What makes you think it isn’t?

There's an epic conflict of interest here with Musk owning most of both companies. And they're in entirely separate fields, there is no plausible synergy here to be gained.

How can you have a conflict of interest if they're entirely separate fields? They have different interests, so where's the conflict?

You don't need synergies to justify a merger. They're often used as justification as in paying well above market price. But it has nothing to do with actual justification. You can just have a holding company of businesses

The conflict of interests here is the conflict between musks interests and the other shareholders interests
