Elon Musk will merge SpaceX and XAI (with Tesla) within a year (Peter's view).

Elon Musk will merge SpaceX and XAI (with Tesla) within a year (Peter's view). | the question is how long before he merges those two companies... I I give it I give it a year.

Watch events: SpaceX IPO roadshow (Jun 2026); Starship V3 orbital test; Starlink V3 launch cadence

the question is how long before he merges those two companies... I I give it I give it a year.

xAI already absorbed into SpaceX Feb 2026; Tesla merger NOT announced and faces SEC/shareholder complications. Peter's 'within a year' call is 50% vindicated already.
