Here’s the truth about the new digital economy: you need to own the data, the deployment surface, the silicon -- and now, the models. That only works if you bring xAI under the same roof. Tesla needs xAI’s model innovation to unlock human-level cognition on-device. xAI needs Tesla’s deployment scale to keep learning. And this isn’t just about autonomy. It’s about the future of inference cost -- the economic backbone of real-world AI. Whether it’s a car, a robot, a drone, or a smart factory, whoever can run high-fidelity models locally, fast, and cheap... wins. Vertical integration isn’t optional anymore. It’s the moat. So yes, I think this merger would be a major win for shareholders -- not just as a narrative reset to offset the political overhang on the stock, but because it structurally aligns Tesla to build the first full-stack AI operating system for the physical world. And in my view, this move is inevitable.
