What's funny? Do you think the investors are against this? The investor's aren't idiots. I imagine the typical investor in Elon Musk's companies would approve of this sort of thing. So what's the problem? Besides, its a private company with Musk as majority shareholder in both. That's the beauty of private companies, you can just do things.

I wish more companies were private and ambitious. I'm tired of companies like Apple making marginal spec bumps to their phones and milking the same products for decades

Any proof of that?

Apple just launched their own silicon chips just a few years ago. They're very ambitious but still calculated.

At least what Apple does is real not make believe like everything Musk claims , disappear boring Apple or even boring Microsoft, Oracle, IBM etc.

And the world would come to a screeching halt, disappear all of Musk companies and people would barely notice.

You seem to be eager to be sold dreams , that's exactly what vaporware salesmen like Musk hope to find on their path

The investors want to cash out, Musk needs lots of money to plow into his latest toy that so far only excels in ridiculing him and sexual harassment/CSAM, so they make a deal to take in xAI and go public. Win win.
