Elon Musk has taken a significant step in reshaping the Silicon Valley landscape by merging SpaceX and xAI, potentially creating a new model for founder-led conglomerates. With a net worth of $800 billion, rivaling the peak market capitalization of historic conglomerate GE, Musk’s influence is undeniable.

Musk’s emphasis on the importance of velocity of innovation in achieving tech success has sparked interesting discussions about the future of the industry. As his personal conglomerate continues to grow, the question on everyone’s mind is not whether such a structure can be built, but rather how far Musk’s vision will take him.
