What is the likelihood or even plausibility of SpaceX purchasing what is left of Tesla once it gets really bad?

Not something I want to see but if it's possible I am afraid something like this may happen.

At that point it would be the US government via contracts keep Tesla afloat. An even bigger conflict of interest then already.

I would bet the SpaceX investors would heavily protest taking on the level of indirect debt associated with that company (Elon's shares and the ongoing SEC payout fight there), though he may have a controlling interest in SpaceX.

Even with controlling interest it likely would result in a class-action from shareholders... But he's defanging all the federal organizations that have been keeping his double handed dealings in check and the judiciary that would oversee the cases sooo... Oligarch can do no wrong?
