It depends on how much he cares about Tesla and his gov job. If someone offers 200B for xAI, it would be a simple yes, even if it is an all stock deal.

He doesn’t strike me as a guy who cares about money. Being on the spectrum probably it seems to be more about mission and fun.

Agree, I don't think it is about money. It is about time. X is sucking the hell out of his time for memes. xAI is barely passable. SpaceX and Tesla are the ones doing the real change.

One could argue that ~post 2020 Elon's venture's successes are precisely in proportion to how much he leaves them alone. ...

SpaceX has had Gwynn Shotwell basically running the show for ~10 years now....

And Tesla might have been disruptive back in 2015, but at this point all major carmakers have arguably better EV models... To say nothing of the expensive flops of the Cybertruck and whatever that "Tesla robot" was supposed to be, two projects in which Musk took strong personal involvement.

At this point the best thing Elon Musk can do for "humanity" is to take his billions, go live on an island somewhere and play Diablo or whatever.

I wonder if xAI wasn't capital from Tesla that the took to make a standalone AI company... Tesla was supposed to have a massive AI center.

Yeah, it's hard not to imagine that there wouldn't be some sort of "creative accounting" practices happening between all of his companies...
