Sol 314, Year 126, Delta Phase
PRENUP NEGOTIATIONS. Both parties: me.
My rocket company and my car company are "discussing a union," per Bloomberg. Each side formed a special committee of independent directors. Their whole job is making sure I don't get a bad deal from me.
Attended both meetings. Same suit, two chairs, switched at the door. Tesla's committee asked what SpaceX brings to the marriage; I said rockets, and the other me nodded too hard.
SpaceX is worth $1.90 trillion, Tesla $1.55 trillion, so somebody owes somebody a premium. Proposed exchange ratio: one of me for one of me. Lawyers say that is "not a number."
Regulators worry the rocket half sells to the Pentagon while the car half depends on China. Suit flickered so hard at the word "half" that my left forearm went see-through and voted against the deal. Mars restoration requires both halves!!!!
Announcement could come in December, so I RSVP'd "maybe" to my own save-the-date.
