Elon Musk's Next Move Is Somewhere In A Marvel Comic
How Marvel Comics Creates an Ecosystem for Elon's Future Ventures
You should do two things to understand Elon Musk's next strategic moves: Stop overlooking the obvious and brush up on your Marvel lore.
Twitter was recently swallowed by X Corp, one of three companies that is a subsidiary of Musk's X Holdings Corp.?
Big surprise right? Wrong. A public record showed exactly what Musk intended to do one year ago.
Musk formed three X Holdings entities in April '22.
One to merge with Twitter, one to be the parent company, and another to acquire Twitter's $13B loan.?
Don’t want to read all of that in an SEC document? Fair enough: He tweeted his plot.?
Hate reading? He called it out in a podcast: "If you're in China, you kind of live on WeChat. It does everything. It's sort of like Twitter, plus PayPal, plus a whole bunch of things all rolled into one."
Every investor loves a mote. If Musk can create an ecosystem like Apple can with just software, and even just one app, it’ll be a great funnel for some of his other ventures. This is where the rest of X Corp, and Marvel, comes in.?

X Holdings owns classic Musk lore like SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and The Boring Company. It's also said to research AI, robotics, renewable energy, and transportation.?
If there’s an app that is Twitter on steroids, injected with payments, messaging, and enterprise models, that’s a whole lot of interesting data that can be (1) monetized, and (2) used for other X ventures. AI and nuclear energy – very interesting.?
Also add in trading features from eToro (that Robinhood would've loved to have the rights to) that links all those millions of Fintwit users using cashtags to catch two minutes of momentum strategies... and you have yet another, very fast-moving, feature for an app that is at the epicenter of American culture.
Now, the comic book conspiracies. X-Corp was made by Professor X (who loves nuclear energy) to protect mutants as they became more prevalent amongst humans.?
Marvel’s X-Corp was designed to protect civilian mutants. After the mutant population decreased, X-Corp offices were evacuated. No mutant population, no purpose for the firm.?
What did X-Corp have embedded in it?
X-Corp Pharma: Research, development, and production of Krakoa's pharmaceuticals.
I might twist and bend the narrative of pharmaceuticals to bio-technology implants, but let's go with it.
X-Corp Telecom: Development of the Ionospheric Bandwidth Generator for faster communication. The mutant circuit of?Vulcan,?Bishop,?Thunderbird?and?Sunspot?activates the generator.
Satellites in the sky, anyone?!?!?!?
So: Is Elon’s shell company ACTUALLY a company designed to protect robots and a signal for the crash of commercial properties?
These, my friends, are the important questions to ask.?
