Elon would be a roadblock to such a merge. Toyota won't be able to function with him in any managerial position. I doubt he'll accept anything less than full control. He won't be content as an "evangelist".

That would be an engineering and laudable feat, and he would be in the annals of history. He can then focus on SpaceX and go to Mars. But if his dream is to become ultra-wealthy and be like Stark in Ironman, then I guess he can keep to himself Tesla.

It seems as though any sacrifices related to "the mission" are expected to come from Tesla and SpaceX employees who have to suffer through periodic rounds of layoffs. https://variety.com/gallery/elon-musk-buys-fifth-bel-air-home/ https://variety.com/gallery/elon-musk-buys-fifth-bel-air-hom... https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-elon-musk-mortgages-morgan-stanley-20190222-story.html https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-elon-musk-mortgages-m...
