"...Could the CEO of Coca-Cola loyally start a competing soft-drink company on the side, then divert scarce ingredients from Coca-Cola to the startup?
Could the CEO of Goldman Sachs loyally start a competing financial advisory company on the side, then hire away key bankers from Goldman Sachs to the startup?
Could the board of either company loyally permit such conduct withoutdoing anything about it?..."
Could Tesla have benefited from the cross pollination Elon brings to his companies?
Has is involvement with spacex ever helped tesla in anything (materials engineering etc)? My guess is yes.
Has his involvement in Tesla helped SpaceX with anything (thing electric motors for thruster gimbling) My guess is yes.
In terms of AI, has his involvement with things like OpenAI and xAI helped Tesla in any way? My guess is at least with respect to AI - yes, Tesla is not behind in AI because of Elon - but if anything is overdoing it in AI because of him.
Is he able to attract reasonable engineers to his companies despite sounding like an absolute pain to work for / with because of all of this? My guess is yes.
Up until the recent AI boom Tesla was the #1 AI company in the world, now they are falling behind other tech leaders.
Elon is now stealing Tesla's AI lead and squandering it on his pissing match with OpenAI because he feels jealous of what they were able to accomplish, despite his attempted takeover.
Now he is even taking AI hardware earmarked for Tesla and using it instead to push his other interests

Tesla's AI is about vision learning and they were way ahead in that field, and now he's deciding to focus instead on "anti-woke" chatbots.
This does not benefit Tesla in any way shape or form.
