At least not currently. 50 years down the road, maybe, but lots of regulatory hurdles to make it meaningful.

Seems like they have a higher collective value if kept separate.

Tesla will undoubtedly continue to branch out beyond vehicles though. Robotics and energy generation will both lead towards additional products in a home.

My guess is we will see a Tesla phone (which will run on starlink). Heat pumps for your home powered by Tesla solar panels. Tesla smart home security systems, home energy optimization systems tied to Tesla powerwalls, and anything else that can be integrated with the backbone products already in place.

SpaceX is going to be “new cellular”, data, internet providers, defense, and rockets.

Guys like you who haven't watched hours and hours of Ukrainian drone footage are still fighting the last war and can't comprehend the strategic advantage China possesses due to manufacturing prowess. The next war is cyber and drones and the US fleet is completely helpless against an actual power that can throw 1,000 drones a minute at a carrier group.

They have learned from Admiral Yamamoto's mistakes and spent years ensuring it won't happen again. "Oh my God, that Maersk ship that we thought was full of cheap TVs and sneakers to be worn by fat Americans is actually carrying nothing but drones."

Two hours later: "The United States has underestimated China and because we have no navy left, we're going to go ahead and give them California, Oregon and Washington to stop further hostilities because Boomers sold the country out for cheap goods a few decades ago and we have no capacity to fight back. Boomer entitlements will not be cut and the displaced California residents will all be moved to Kentucky."
