Given Musk's pay package that requires getting Tesla's valuation to $8 trillion, isn't it obvious that he should absorb all of his holdings (SpaceX, X, xAI) into Tesla?

While I'm inside the US, can I perform work for non-US entities? For example, remotely teaching a music lesson do someone in a different country or writing a book and publishing it abroad but not in the US.

The music is an essential dimension of the text. To remove it and only leave the words is like deciding whether a movie is great based on its screenplay, or taking all the words of a poem and writing it out as prose. The piece that as creat
