Seems like a great way to play games with moving money around. Come up with a "valuation" and then "acquire".

It worked for his Twitter co-investors. I guess they overlap enough with Xai investors for them to think it's more clever than it is a rip off.

I'm pretty amazed one can play a shell game for so long and so openly with the public.

Notify me when you launch the first private space company who can go on mars, or the first car company in the US in 100 years. Or build a top AI cluster in less than a month.

Well, wouldn't you be on board?

1. Does xAI seem more valuable than X?

2. Does SpaceX seem more valuable than xAI+X?

Not sure a lot of people would say "no" to either of these questions.

The only other question that I think is worth asking for investors, is how much stock in the acquiring company they get for their stocks in the acquired company. If the valuation of the acquired company in the deal is... optimistic enough, that seems like a no brainer.
