And? Musk's companies are separate business entities.

  But since he owns them, he can do whatever he wants with them? Unless you're arguing he's forming a trust / cartel, which I don't think is the issue being debated here

    He doesn't wholly own any of them though?

      you don't need whole ownership to control a company, just a controlling interest

        Sure - but this holds for public companies, too, especially those with different classes of share. For instance, Drew Houston has >50% voting power for Dropbox, despite it being a public company in which he nominally owns <50% of shares. Having investors, even if you own a controlling interest, still has implications on company decisions and possible legal action.
