Takes:

1. Ah yes the classic “combine a bunch of worthless things together to magically create value” that caused the financial crisis
2. Those banks aren’t taking their pounds of flesh fast enough. Maybe they don’t want to cut into Musk’s bloated corpse of a body.
3. Musk combining two things reminds me of this 16 year old video (CW: scatological humor)

The combined name will be xAIX, and pronounced “sex”.

I think that title vastly overestimate the importance of these companies particularly the new one.
