Galloway: Tesla is the patient and SpaceX shareholders are the organ donors in Musk's M&A
Austen · x · 2026-10-27
Scott Galloway argues Musk merges a company into another only when it's about to crater — "he stuffed Twitter into xAI, which got folded into SpaceX." He frames Tesla as the patient and SpaceX shareholders as organ donors, calling Tesla shareholders' win like "trading your Buick for a piece of a Gulfstream." Austen and Musk pushed back citing Tesla's $45B cash and billions in quarterly profit.
