Supposedly, this also saves him from getting margin called if TSLA stock crashes (as it was collateral for the Twitter purchase loan). I don't see how under a normal administration this wouldn't get checked by the SEC, but coincidentally this also happened today: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us...ing-onboard-doge-staff-email-says-2025-03-28/

I wonder if this will affect Tesla's stock price. What's stopping Musk from selling FSD or Optimus to xAI in the future?
Tesla shareholders would have to approve the transaction. It’s an actual public company.

TSLA shares where not used as collateral for the Titter purchase. Elmo had originally planned to and then changed his mind and restructured the deal to avoid them. I believe he sold more Tesla stock. He could have other loan(s) outstanding secured against Tesla shares that could be margin called.

Elon Musk Drops Margin Loan From Twitter Bid, Making It A Little Less Risky

https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/25/23141940/elon-musk-tesla-twitter-margin-loan-buyout-deal

Musk’s initial plan to acquire Twitter involved a combination of $21 billion in personal equity and $25.5 billion in loans. $12.5 billion of those loans was secured against Tesla shares owned by Musk. Musk cut that number in half with an earlier round of equity financing and has now restructured the deal to remove them entirely.

Well that’s not concerning or shady at all!

Would shareholders need to approve selling Optimus or FSD? I'm not 100% sure.

Also, it's not like Tesla didn't buy Solar City when it was in trouble. Institutional investors with musk are the vast majority of share holders.

What the hell is xAI?


Musk's xAI buys social media platform X for $45 billion​

March 28 (Reuters) - Elon Musk said on Friday that his xAI has acquired X, the social media app formerly known as Twitter, in an all-stock transaction for $45 billion, including $12 billion debt.
"xAI and X's futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent," Musk said in a post on X, adding that the combined company would be valued at $80 billion.

Bro loves the letter X.

In fun unrelated trivia, the ASCII code for X is 88.
