I wonder if the recent announcement spurred them into making a move now rather than later.

The merger was most likely now because they have to do it before the IPO. After the IPO, there’s a whole process to force independent evaluation and negotiation between two boards / executives, which would be an absolute dumpster fire where Musk controls both.

When they’re both private, fine, whatever.
