Earlier this week, we saw a novel idea that looked outlandish. Bill Blain, a UK-based market strategist, wrote, “I have a transformational idea for Musk: Buy BOEING and merge it into SpaceX.” One can’t leave this statement out there; Mr. Blain needs to explain this, so we called him and chatted.
It may be outlandish, but maybe not too much.

Terrific discussion Addison. Elon owning Boeing is a fascinating idea that’s got huge merit, I’m all for it and Blain seems a legend too, thanks for a valuable 15 minutes
Thank you for your kind words!
It might be the only thing that could reduce Boeing after a disastrous period.
Not knowing how Boeing or for that matter the sale of Boeing to Musk could provide benefits to either party is unclear. For Musk, bragging rights; for Boeing debt relief, government access, and preference would be the primary motives.
