Join Ben Drakes and Thomas Odenwald (Tech Exec ex-HPE, ex-SAP, Advisor & Podcaster) for a no-BS breakdown of the biggest Musk empire story in 2026: 

SpaceX's acquisition of xAI (creating the $1.25T+ XAIX entity) and what it means for Tesla shareholders.

As a Tesla investor, Ben shares real opportunities–Robotaxi rollout, Optimus humanoid robots, energy storage synergies–alongside serious concerns: rumoured reverse merger risks, SpaceX's defence-contractor realities (Starlink in conflicts), and Elon's hard pivot to Moon Base Alpha as priority #1 for satellite factories and orbital data centres.

From Tesla's manufacturing edge over competitors to founder-operator lessons (Elon vs. Jensen Huang), this is essential listening for anyone tracking Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, or AI investment outcomes.
