David Lee suggested creating a holding company called X to hold all of Elon’s major companies (Tesla, SpaceX, Boring Company and Neuralink).
Elon responded with a tweet that this seems like a good idea.
Good idea

The mission of X holding company to ensure human survival and progress is a big ideaa.

The mission of X holding company to ensure human survival and progress is a big idea. And I think big enough to hold all of Elon’s ideas and ventures for his lifetime.

Each company under the holding company will have it’s own specific vision but one that supports bigger vision of ensuring human survival and progress.
Tesla – accelerate world’s transition to sustainable energy
SpaceX – make space-faring civilization
Boring Co – end traffic

The main advantage of bringing all the enterprises under one holding company is two-fold:
1. Brings all Elon’s ventures under one structure, making it easier to manage.
2. Allows Elon to start many new ventures because holding company’s vision is wide and big.

This is not a move focused on increasing market cap or stock price.
Rather, this is a move focused on creating the structure for Elon to be able to continue to make big bets for humanity, and have the time to manage them.
